Daily Reads
We've added these excellent titles to our daily bedtime routines. If we miss a night, we'll do a quick catch-up the next night. These have sparked some great conversations and helped us grow the curiosity & excitement for learning in our home!
We have been loving this book for learning & using a new word each day! We enjoy quizzing each other on previous ways and trying to find sneaky ways to use these new words in our everyday conversations. I love seeing the additional vocabulary my kids are learning and using!
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day - Kids Vocab
Such a great book to help curious minds grow! We love the daily questions--it's truly helped us educate our children on things we wouldn't typically think to bring up--including dinosaurs and galaxies!
Everything Under The Sun
Trying to get your kids more excited about history? This is definitely the book for that! My husband is a Social Studies Teacher and loves the level of information this provides our kids with. Each day has multiple historical facts from that specific day in history. We have enjoyed learning these facts alongside our children.
The HISTORY Channel This Day in History For Kids
Another great addition to our daily reads with our kiddos! Each day brings a different grouping of facts about a fun topic. Everything from nebulas to dinosaurs! Great for curious young minds!

Non-Fiction Titles for Learning
We love using non-fiction titles to help our kids learn about the world. Here's some recent family favorites!
Great for a young reader! We loved reading this with our first grader. It's fun to read the true stories of hero dogs together.
National Geographic Kids Chapters: Hero Dogs
This book is so cute! We love the fun pictures and child-friendly explanations. It's been great for helping our girls and the kids around them understand their bodies.
My Hypermobility by Leah Pinnington
Another excellent addition to our home library! This has truly been so helpful in our kids' understanding of their own ADHD, their siblings' diagnoses, and their peers' struggles. I can't recommend this series of books enough!
A Kids Book About ADHD
Storybooks We Love
Storybooks help us teach our girls big topics and educate them on many topics that are not tangible. We love the opportunity to help them prepare for real life scenarios and understand their emotions at such a young age.
We've been reading this sweet book for years. It's become a family statement for us, often telling each other, “You Mean The World To Me!” before bed each night.
You Mean the World to Me
The sweetest story to help our children process grief after the loss of their Grammie/my mom. This is the female version, but there is also a male version. Buy whichever fits your loss. We have loved the ability to use books to help us process loss with our children.
I Have An Angel: Female Version
So much love for this sweet story! I choose this one to read to my kiddos' classrooms whenever there's an opportunity to do so. Great lesson on remembering that we are all the same on the inside, and shouldn't judge others for what's on the outside.
