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 
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?
