Books That Unlock Hearts and Minds

Books That Unlock Hearts and Minds

Each book below holds a special place in my heart, transporting me back to a precious moment in time, snuggled up reading with my kids. Why these? Because each sparked conversations that continued long after the final page was turned, and each was requested over and over. 

Do you find it pretty magical when you can see your child’s face light up with understanding?  Unexpected questions begin to pour out (and oh, they're so many!).
 
Looking back, I can now see what a cool opportunity it was to read with my kids, not only bond, but to teach without "preaching". Though my very own Edward the Egg stories offer this magical opportunity as well, I would be remiss to not share the books that helped shape my kid's childhood - alongside my Edward bedtime stories.


Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, teacher, or caregiver, you have the incredible ability to create these special moments. I’m sure you already have your own cherished "keeper" books that have touched your heart.


The books I’m about to share aren’t just recommendations—they’re invitations. Invitations to cozy up together, laugh, maybe shed a tear or two.

 So, dive in and explore. For even more fantastic children’s books that do more than just entertain, check out the wonderful book blogs I’ve listed below.

Cheers to making magical moments with stories that will warm your heart for years to come.
