Do NOT Let Your Child Read These Books…

Do NOT read these books with your child—unless you want your child to grow into the kind of person who is kind, confident, resilient, and true to themselves. As a mom and an educator with a PhD, I know firsthand how powerful stories can be in shaping who our children become. Books aren’t just words on a page; they are tools that help children practice empathy, navigate friendships, and discover their own voice. The right stories inspire transformation—and these books are some of the best at doing just that. So, do NOT let your child read these books…

 

Unless you want your child to be an includer…

 

 

 

Unless you want your children to get along…

 

   

 

Unless you want your child to be a good friend…

 

   

 

Unless you want your child to be confident and resilient…

 

   

 

Unless you want your child to be true to themselves…

 

   

 

What books you read matter. Elevate reading time by choosing meaningful books and lean into their transformative power.

Hi, I’m Becca!

My passion is where children, literacy, and play intersect. My dream is to inspire parents to keep things simple, a childhood rooted in play and reading, to bring the joy back into parenting and raising good humans.
