November Season: Books for Kids

, ,

So we are really in the swing of Fall now and with that comes my favorite holiday season! I love the colors, smells, and colder weather (Fall clothes just give you more options!) November also means more holidays. It means getting the crock pot out and reading books while wearing thick socks. These are the weeks when I indulge in all things cozy.

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/seasonal books into your story times!! Read and Enjoy while teaching your children inclusivity and curiosity. Add new ideas to their environment; have what they hear, the artwork they see, the books they read, and the toys they play with reflect diversity and love!

Reading stories aloud together builds vocabulary, improves comprehension, and promotes speech development. It also provides moments of discussion and bonding. I encourage you to add diverse holiday stories to your bookshelves. PLEASE use this list as a starting point to enjoy stories about the Fall Season and Diwali, exploring celebrations in all communities!
