It’s that time of year when we think of gift-giving for the young children in our lives. Though this year’s celebrations are likely to be different, stories continue to delight and inform — and most importantly — to connect us. Celebrate this season of sharing with books and reading. This year’s list includes charming new board books for the youngest ones, stories about animals and nature, historical fiction, graphic novels, sports stories, books about heroes who have made our world a better place for all, and stories about community, family, and friendship.
Even the short days of winter can be brightened when giving and enjoying books with others — creating shared memories that can last a lifetime. Here you’ll discover tales of fact or fiction to warm up even the coldest day. Happy Holidays from Reading Rockets!

Creating a library of your child’s books is a great way to show her how important reading is. It will also give her a special place to keep her books and will motivate her to keep pulling books from her own library to read. Here are some ideas for getting started!
