Explore the World with Your Kids, By the Book

May 4, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

Around the world family book club

Growing Book By Book is a fantastic website for encouraging a love of reading, and I think her idea for an Around the World Family Book Club is fantastic.

Each month this year she has picked a book from a different country and then at the beginning of the month she shares other books related to that country and culture and conversation starters related to the topic. There’s also a themed menu, a table craft and an idea for a family project you can all do together.

So for example for May the country is Japan, the book is A Peace Tree from Hiroshima by Sandra Moore; the meal from Chef Sarah Elizabeth includes miso soup, vegetable tempura and sushi; and the table craft is a Zen garden from Sunny Day Family.

Check out the whole year so far and what’s coming up. Instead of doing one a month, you could do one a week over the summer, or just cover the ones you are particularly interested in.

I think this is a great idea for learning about different cultures and trying new foods.

What country would you like to explore?
