The COVID pandemic shook the world. As hard as it has been for adults to comprehend, it has been just as difficult, if not harder, for kids. Suddenly we yanked them from school, told them they had to stay home, and didn’t let them see their friends (other than on a screen). To make matters worse, we didn’t give them any indication when it would end. As I write this, life still isn’t back to normal, and may never be the same as it was before. To help kids understand the lockdown, and encourage them to do their part to help, I am thrilled to share a beautiful children’s book about the pandemic and the time we had to stay home.

Children’s Books about Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a strong, inspirational woman who served for 27 years on the Supreme Court. As the second woman to serve on the court, she carved out her place in history. No matter how you feel about her politics, she had a hand in many of the decisions that have shaped our country. With her recent passing, her legacy is being celebrated. She was a strong woman who fought for women’s rights, and many more important causes. I wanted to gather a list of children’s books about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as well as some of her best quotes, so you can share her legacy with your kids as well.

Y is for Yoga
Written by Greg Paprocki
This board book explores the practice of yoga by pairing each letter of the alphabet with a different yoga related word. Some of the letters focus on a different pose like Downward Dog, while others highlight other aspects of yoga, including Mats and Namaste. The illustrations are colorful and feature a diverse cast of children. The retro illustration style will entertain both kids and adults.

The Girl and the Cathedral
I have always been fascinated by art and architecture from times gone past. I love that I live in a city that has older architecture on display. But I have always dreamt of someday traveling to Europe to see some of the incredible art and architecture that is even older. One of the most well known architectural marvels in Europe not only contains breathtaking sights, but also means a lot to people all over the world – the Notre Dame Cathedral. I remember watching the horrible fire there years ago, and being deeply saddened by the loss of such a treasure. So I was thrilled when we were given the opportunity to check out this beautiful children’s book about Notre Dame, and the power of hope and community.
