STAFF PICKS - BOOKS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

STAFF PICKS - BOOKS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON
Contributed by Brian Milauskas

At Kidstock!, much of our creative curriculum is inspired by children’s literature. Our office boasts a robust collection of books to choose from and our curriculum planning conversations often are filled with admiration for the power of stories and storytelling. This year, in celebration of the holiday season, I asked each staff member to share a favorite book from their teaching life or childhood. For our nationwide classroom community, if your child is a book worm looking to connect with friends, I highly recommend looking into our Backstage Book Club. I wish you all a warm holiday season and happy reading opportunities while safe at home!
