Summer Musing #5

Creating a Family Culture with Books

I love a good book but even more I love a good series of books we as a family can dive into head first.   This summer the series I selected on good recommendations wasn't a fit for us.  My niece enjoyed it, so all wasn't lost.  We sent them to her and found a series we couldn't put down.  (Fun Jungle --- more on that later.)

Creating a family culture around books doesn't mean reading books from a book list---trudging through and dragging your kids along.  It means getting lost in books everyone enjoys, having meaningful conversations about story and characters, and making connections to our own lives.  The books we choose and love will be as different as our families.
