It is so important to practice gratitude and thankfulness, but teaching these traits to kids can be difficult. Luckily, there are lots of great children’s books on gratitude to help explain the topic. Today I decided to gather some of our favorite books on thankfulness to help you dive into the topic as a family.

I am so grateful for the relationship that my daughter has with my parents. Family is so important to me, and I truly believe in the importance of passing on our knowledge, traditions, and memories to future generations. Years ago, I found a journal and stack of letters that my grandfather had written while he was serving overseas, and my father and I typed them up as a Christmas present for our family. This lead to my father writing up an entire family history, which he gifted to all of us in book form. It has become a treasured part of my library. When I had the opportunity to check out today’s book, it touched my heart because it speaks to the same idea of sharing family memories and passing them on to the next generation.
Election season is here. As election ads take over the airwaves, and signs pop up all around us, kids may have lots of questions about the voting process. This list of election books for kids are a great way to introduce them to the process of voting.
My daughter and I are huge fans of Karma Wilson’s books. Her Bear books are in constant rotation in our read aloud line up, and my daughter already names her as her favorite author. So as dog lovers, we were so excited when we heard that she was writing a new book about a dog named Doug. This adorable story gave us the opportunity to engage in some dog activities too!
Bedtime can sometimes be a struggle. From the very beginning my daughter has had a difficult time sleeping. We read together every night before bed, so I am always on the lookout for great bedtime books. I previously posted about our 
Halloween is right around the corner, which means that stores and homes will soon be covered in ghosts, pumpkins, and skeletons. To get in the Halloween spirit, we wanted to share this fun book that tells the story of a skeleton in need. He receives help from the friends around him (sometimes with humorous results). This book also provided us with the perfect opportunity to have fun with some skeleton activities, games and crafts!
Fall is almost here, which means it’s time to start thinking about pumpkins, apples, and fall festivals! Fall is my favorite time of year, and I love visiting the apple orchards and pumpkin patches with my family. Our neighbor is unintentionally growing pumpkins this year (squirrels love to bury pumpkin seeds it seems), so we have had the opportunity to watch them grow from vines into flowers, and finally into pumpkins. To celebrate the start of fall and continue our pumpkin education, I decided to gather a list of fun children’s books about pumpkins. From board books to picture books, and even non-fiction reads, there is a little something for everyone!

As a teacher, I had a lot of experience learning about different learning styles, multiple intelligence’s, and learning disabilities. I am always thrilled when I find books that represent kids with different learning styles in a positive and empowering light. So I was thrilled to have the opportunity to check out this book series celebrating how we learn!
