2023 Blogging A to Z: Youthful
I wanted the chance to throw in some picture books to the 300+ titles I was suggesting this month, so I thought my adjective “youthful” would be the perfect place for them! I tried to pull a mix of picture book titles that are great for older readers with more…

2023 Blogging A to Z: Xenacious
Let me tell you that finding a word to describe people that starts with “X” is not an easy feat! In fact, I had to learn what xenacious meant in order to even use it. Xenacious means, “a yearning for change” which I took as trying something new. Now, you…

2023 Blogging A to Z: Willful
I’m choosing to use the word willful in the best possible sense – kids who have a dream and don’t give up on that dream, kids who know what they want and go for it. The characters in the books below are some of the most willful characters I’ve read…

2023 Blogging A to Z: Volunteer
I think volunteerism is a great way for kids to give back to their communities.

2023 Blogging A to Z: Scientific
For the scientifically-minded kids out there, this is a great list of titles. These books incorporate science and math right into the story. Sometimes the story focuses right on the science. While other times the characters try to use science and math and technology to figure out the world around…

2023 Blogging A to Z: Reader
Of the 26 book lists this month, I think this one has to be my favorite! I have always love to read. I didn’t necessarily learn to read exceptionally early. But, once I did learn, I constantly had a book in my hands. I carried one with me everything, sneaking…

2023 Blogging A to Z: Quiet
This was a list that I created for the 12-year-old me. The kid whose nose was forever in a book because I was quiet and shy and definitely an introvert. Books were (and still are) a safety net for me, something to occupy myself with when I was too uncomfortable…

2023 Blogging A to Z: Playful
We’re moving right along through the alphabet this month! Today’s letter is “P” and I decided to focus on playful kids, or kids that still have strong, active imaginations.
