The best daycares are the ones that really feel like home for the child-warm, inviting, safe, and fun. Books are such a key part of every young child’s life that a few great books in your daycare reading space can make all the difference.
We’ve selected some titles that will get your library or reading space started off right. Already have a reading space? Well, these books will be a welcome addition. We picked these titles for a few reasons. The illustrations are bold and engaging. The stories will keep kids’ attention long enough to finish the book, and we love that these authors include images of children of all shades and colors.
The Skin You Live In by Michael Tyler
Beautiful illustrations and rhyming text make this a fun read for children in the 4 to 8 age range and a great book for story time for kids under five. It’s all about celebrating kids of all shades, colors, and ability levels. The book radiates warmth, kindness, and love for all children.
Whoever You Are by Mem Fox
We like that this book talks about people from all over the world and how we share many similarities no matter where we live. We love the spirit of unity that this book encourages as well as the whimsical illustrations that fill the pages. Children will be captured by the rich painting like illustrations that capture the beauty of all people.
I’m Just Like My Mom/I’m Just Like My Dad by Jorge Ramos
Who doesn’t love a good book celebrating the bond between mother and child and father and child? This book filled with brightly colored, cartoon-like illustrations is a great bilingual book that celebrates family and teaches some Spanish, too.
Lola at the Library by Anna McQuinn
This cute little board book–perfect for little hands–is a wonderfully easy read. It tells the story of little Lola and how much she enjoys her weekly visits to the library with her mom. This book celebrates and encourages reading from an early age.
We hope you enjoy these titles as much as we have.
Happy Reading!
