We have made it to the last month of our calendar, December! The month of lights, baking, and holiday music. One of my absolute favorite months in the entire year: I love the decorations, smells, and maybe even some flurries. December also means more holidays. It means making soup (or hot chocolate) and reading books while wearing thick socks.
There is nothing better than cuddling up in blankets with warm drinks and LOTS AND LOTS of books. This makes it the perfect time to add some more diversity and inclusivity into your home! In the coming weeks, there will be multiple chances to talk about ALL the holidays and the cultures that celebrate them!
Sprinkle some holiday books into your book clubs or encourage them during reading for fun moments. This will introduce new ideas to their environment ensuring that the books they read reflect the world community!
PLEASE use this list as a starting point to enjoy stories about Holiday Season, exploring celebrations in all communities!
