Summer is the perfect time to help your kids grow a love of reading. Here's some of the best books to read together with your 7 year old to spark their imagination.
Fun Summer books
1. My Magical Choices
Becky Cummings has a great series books that teach children lots of important life lessons like learning how to be more confident, forgiving, generous, and so on.
My Magical Choices has beautiful images, fun rhymes, and important lessons for kids no matter their age.
2. The Color Monster
The Color Monster is another great children's book that teaches kids about the different emotions.
It also explores the idea that sometimes we are filled with more than one emotion and how we can make sense of this.
3. A Good Deed Can Grow
A Good Deed Can Grow teaches kids how even a small act of kindness can make a big impact. This is a great book for anytime, especially summer!
4. How to Catch a Mermaid
Do your kids love all things magical and fairytale like mermaids? If so, How to Catch a Mermaid is a great choice for summer.
They also have other books in the series on how to catch a dinosaur, a unicorn, and more.
5. Patrick Picklebottom and the Longest Wait
Another favorite my 7 year old daughter likes to read is Patrick Picklebottom and the Longest Wait.
This book is especially great because kids don't like to wait so they can easily relate to it!
