Discover the best children's books curated by me and my (very discerning) kiddos.

I’m always on the hunt for good books. So much so that I became a bit of a human search engine for my friends. After enough neighbors and friends started disappearing into our play room to snap photos of the books we had on rotation, I decided to make it easier and put them all online. We do our best to show our kids that the world is big and diverse, and to demonstrate that it’s our job to protect people and the planet. The recommendations here carry this thread of diversity and sustainability. But we also just think books should be fun, and not every title needs to teach.

Every book on this site has received a triple thumbs-up review from both of my kids and me, so you can jump straight to the best books for kids.

Because life’s too short to read boring books.
