Storytime Theme: Family

For the month of November, I’m going to be sharing storytime themes about the things I’m grateful for! First up? That’s easy, family. If nothing else comes out of this crazy, mixed-up, upside-down year I have learned how much my family truly means to me. With my siblings spread across the country and cousins even further away, technology has brought us together. Each side of my family has a Zoom meeting night that we’ve been doing every week since April. Whoever is available jumps on to say hi and catch up.

Today I’m sharing 9 Storytime Books About Family in the hopes that you can share these with your little ones! And if you love to read as a family, check out Bookroo’s Family Reading Profiles to keep track of all your favorite books!
