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 (Who doesn’t love layering!) November also means more holidays, getting the crock pot out, and reading books while wearing thick socks. These are the weeks when I do all the cozy things.
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 Diwali and the Autumn Season, exploring celebrations in all communities!
