Books Your Kids Need to Read This Month

August is here! This summer is truly flying by. My kids have been enjoying sitting on our swinging chairs outside and reading time this summer. Reading is such nice way to take a break from the day and use our imaginations. We have so many great books we’ve added to our bookshelves this month and I am so excited to share them with you all!

    These are all nice titles. I love children’s books because they are so joyous to read. I like to have a copy of Luna Finds Love Everywhere though because it seems relevant to the current social issues.

    I’ll be sharing it with my cousin. She is looking for something that my niece can do aside from watching and playing with her iPad. I suggested letting her do some activities like painting and reading. These books would be a great choice for her.
