So far we have covered alphabet activities, math activities, and now today our favorite posts of 2014 takes us to book lists! It was hard choosing my favorite book lists because I adore picture books. I decided to include the book lists that moved me the most, that I feel are the most useful for families, and ones with hidden gems that you might not find on the best sellers list even if I think they should be.
This list of books about baseball is filled with history and wonderful lessons as well as fun books about a great game!
This list of Diverse Christmas Books was a labor of love finding books with all sorts of families, and children to share with my own kids and yours.’s
We did a list of books about divorce but I think Fantastic Fun and Learning’s Books About Divorce list was better, so I am listing it here!
The Measured Mom has a wonderful book list about Children with Disabilities. I immediately pinned this awesome resource!
Every year during pride month I post a book list that is inclusive of families with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered members. This year I was thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response, even if I lost some followers. I am passionate about filling bookshelves with diverse books even if it costs me some followers in the process.
KC Adventures posted this amazing book list of Around The World in 30 Books and I fell in LOVE!
Books About Worrying is a list that I made in response to reader need. There are a lot of anxious kids out there and I hope this list has helped a few. I know the books have done wonders in my own home.
Another list that I think is vital for families to explore is this list from What Do We Do All Day of Civil Rights Picture Books.
I have never been thanked via email more of any post than this books list of Books About Cancer. It struck a chord and I am happy I could help.
Role models for young women in books aren’t always the best. This book list is all about great role models for girls in books you may not have heard of .
Don’t miss tomorrow’s post where we will be sharing our favorite fine motor activities from 2014!

What a nice surprise my insomnia has led me to this morning. Thanks for including the civil rights book list, Allison!

Thank you for this list. Thank you for including LGBT books and civil rights and special needs. I work in a diverse school where many kids are not represented in books.

You are welcome – diverse books are out there although not enough. This year one of my goals is to include more in ALL my book lists.

Loving the list of lists 🙂 Going thru to complete my ‘what I haven’t read yet’ so I can get them to the top of my list. Thanks for including our Read Across the Globe list — we loved reviewing the books for that post!
