Summer is nearly here. School ends and fantastic summer reading begins.

Summer is the perfect time for kids to kick back with some books. Children who read during vacation will enhance their reading and educational skills—rather than backtracking and losing scholastic ground. With the incredible choices in quality children’s literature, every child can find an interesting book.

For younger readers, these diverse books are being made available through First Book, an organization which helps provide books to needy children.

Titles include:

NINO WRESTLES THE WORLD by  Yuyi Morales

TANGO MAKES THREE by Justin Richardson & Peter Parnell

TIGER IN MY SOUP by Kashmira Sheth

EMMANUEL’S DREAM by Laurie Thompson

KNOCK KNOCK by Daniel Beaty

BOATS FOR PAPA by Jessixa Bagley

For older readers, visit the Suggested Summer Reading List. Most of these titles should be available through your local library or bookstore.

Don’t wait for the official start of summer. Begin your reading adventures today!
