The Founding Girl's Summer Reading List
One of my favorite parts of summer as a kid was trips to the library and their summer reading programs. Some recommendations became lifelong favorites. Others were only opened once before they found their way back to the return bin. Either way, they were part of the adventure.
This reading list isn't meant to be a checklist or a list of the "best" children's books. It's simply a collection of stories that encourage curiosity, courage, imagination, and a love for the world around us.
Inside you'll find a mix of picture books for younger readers and longer stories for children ready to disappear into a good book for an afternoon. Some celebrate nature, others introduce history, and a few simply remind us how much adventure can be found in ordinary places.
Included in this printable:
- Picture books for younger readers
- Chapter books and longer adventures
- Stories inspired by nature, history, friendship, and exploration
- A free printable reading list to keep throughout the summer
If your family already has favorite summer books, I'd love for this list to grow over time. Some of the best recommendations have a way of being passed from one family to another, and I hope this becomes one of those lists that gets folded into beach bags, tucked inside library books, and added to year after year.
Happy reading.
