I believe that teaching kids to be kind is more important than ever. With new stories of bullying on the news every day, it is becoming clear that we are suffering from a lack of kindness in our world. I firmly believe that teaching kids to think of others and treat them with kindness will make the biggest impact on the world. So today I have gathered a list of children’s books about kindness to help you start conversations with your kids about how they can spread kindness in their daily lives.
Preparing for Spring with Gardening Activities for Kids!
Spring is finally here, which means the flowers are starting to bloom and we are looking forward to spending more time outside. We are constantly inspired by my neighbor’s beautiful garden, so this year my daughter has decided that she would like a garden of her own. Luckily, we had the opportunity to check out this fun new book from Sleeping Bear Press about creating the perfect garden – even if it isn’t the exact garden you planned. We also paired it with fun gardening activities for kids, so get ready to get your hands dirty!
Exciting Board Books
It is so important to introduce kids to books and reading very early in life. My daughter loves to read, and she recognizes that books need to be treated with care. But she is still only 3 years old. So sometimes her books have a little trouble standing up to her love. So board books are a great way to share my love of books with her in a format that can stand up to her. We had the chance to check out a lot of new exciting board books this past year, so I’m thrilled to share them with you.

Celebrate Earth Day with These Books about Nature!
Throughout my childhood, I have lots of memories of service projects spent gathering recyclables, cleaning parks, or planting trees and flowers. These early experiences with environmentalism have stuck with me. I am thrilled that my daughter has already taken an interest in the topic. Some of this inspiration is based on some of her favorite books. Today I decided to share some of our favorite children’s books about nature and environmentalism, to help you start the conversation with your family.
Celebrating Mother’s Day with Mama Bunnies!
We have a lot of bunnies in our yard every year, and my daughter and I love to watch them. We talk about how Mama Bunny keeps an eye on her babies and never lets them get too far. So I love when we find adorable books about Mama Bunnies and babies that celebrate the love between a mother and her child. To celebrate Mother’s Day, and the love between mothers and children, we decided to gather some of our favorite books about bunnies and love. We also created a fun piece of bunny artwork together to go with them!
Celebrate the Seasons!
I love living in a place that gets to experience all of the seasons. Sometimes we may feel that winter fades directly into summer, and we are usually looking forward to the next season. But I appreciate the different weather that we do get to see. So to celebrate all of the beautiful seasons and the wonderful changes that happen every few months, I decided to gather some of our favorite new children’s books about seasons. We also decided to commemorate our favorite parts of each season with individual handprint paintings that can be combined to make one large piece!

With that in mind, when looking for a new book to jump into, it can be helpful to look back to the things you already enjoy. Take a look at the list below to see what book matches up to your favorite show.
