With Memorial Day and the 4th of July just around the corner, we are feeling inspired to share books that honor and celebrate these holidays. These books are fantastic to read during holidays or to learn about historical events in our country’s history. You can certainly enjoy these books all year round as well!
Shared book reading provides children wonderful learning opportunities, promotes positive experiences with reading, and encourages discussions. Check out a previous blog post here for more on the benefits of themed book reading for children.
Keep reading for our patriotic book list!
