Spring Book List
While we anxiously await the arrival of the daffodils and robins, we have been scouring our favorite libraries for books to celebrate the spring season and March as Women’s History Month with female and BIPOC characters and authors. While your child browses through these books whether it be during tummy time, after breakfast, or before bed, you will both enjoy the playful colors and narratives. Books are linked for purchase through the Play to Grow Bookshop. It is also encouraged to check out your local library for a book. You can even look up a read aloud on YouTube and listen together in the car or while you prep dinner. While these are some of our favorites be sure to check out HereWeeRead's for more.
