As a mom to four African American children, I’ve been hard pressed to find great kids’ books that feature black characters (at least in our local library).

Cozy Bedtime Books for Toddlers
We have a very active little one in our family. She’s running around learning everything she possibly can.

Our Third Grade Homeschool Reading List
When I was in elementary school many years ago (I have no intention of saying how many years ago), I remember third grade as being a kind of pivot point in my early education.

Kids’ Books about Leaves
We’ve been sharing lots of fall fun for kids lately, including apple tree playdough mats, plenty of fall leaf activities and crafts you can make as a family, and kids’ books about camping.
