items My daughter loves to be read to. Which means I’ve been reading an insane amount of children’s books in the last few years, so I’d consider myself close to an expert in children’s literature. Or at least knowledgeable enough on the topic to be able to...

Books For Learning
As a homeschooling parent, we utilize books for nearly every lesson plan. I sometimes even plan directly around a book😅 This section is full of some of our favorites.
Warning: I cried reading this (tbf I cry from a lot of children’s books) This is such a raw portrayal of how an idea forms to improve your community, and the next steps. This book was fun, educational, and very touching. If you get anything from this...

I’m sorry to tell you this, but you will probably cry reading this book to your child. However, if you’re kid is like mine and is terrified of leaving your side this may help🩵
The Kissing Hand|Hardcover
We love the hungry caterpillar. It’s such a fun way to teach days of the week, as well as the lifecycle of a butterfly. Also, there’s like 1,000 crafts you can find on Pinterest to make it more engaging

Books For Bedtime
Take it from me- you don’t want to read any ol book at bedtime. (Nothing like trying to get your very imaginative 4 year old to sleep and you accidentally grab something that sparks their inner silliness and keeps them awake longer 🥲) bedtime is whe...
Starting with a classic, this is still fun to read years later. My daughter loves saying goodnight to everything in her room. (Bonus, it’s a great relaxing technique, and definitely helps with the sleepy scaries)
Goodnight Moon (Padded Board Book)|Paperback
I have to include this because it’s football season and after an hour of my daughter shouting “Go Red Team” with her dad, it’s fun to have a topical way to wind down.
Goodnight Football|Board Book
I love this book. It’s silly, empathetic, and a fun way to humanize the scary monsters that keep us awake at night.

Books For Movement
You may not immediately think of books when you think about being active. Think again. We love books that are interactive, or encourage running, jumping, or dancing. If you have a kiddo that just can’t sit still, lean into it!
I loveee how interactive this book is. This is one that will make you feel a little okay with damaging a book (just a little) because the memories of reading it are definitely worth it.
There's A Monster in Your Book: A Funny Monster Book for Kids and Toddlers|Paperback
My daughter got this from doing the library’s summer reading program, and she has requested we read it at least once a week. It’s so fun doing the poses together, and a great gentle introduction to mindfulness practices for young kids
Grover Yoga! (Sesame Street)|Board Book

I like to read my daughter a chapter out of her book when we’re winding down for the night. It’s so cool seeing her react as the story unfolds.
