Summer Reading Bucket List
A list for kids of any age who want to have adventures from the couch.
Books are the cheapest way to travel the world.
Books are the quietest way to meet new people.
Books can take you deeper into our world, exploring everything from particles to magnetism to fictional adventures like Journey to the Center of the Earth.
Books also take you farther out of your bubble than anything else. With books, you find out how many other ways people live, believe, eat, and learn. You find out how rich you are and what things in your own life you take for granted. (Like having loving parents, or more food in the pantry than you can possibly eat!)
Books make you a bigger person.
Not only can you get a taste of various places and cultures through books, but you can meet amazing people. If you have ever heard that people are greatly influenced by the quality of people they spend the most time with, remember this: when reading books you can spend time with the greatest people in history.
With books, you are not limited to hanging out with your neighbors all summer, although I highly recommend you spend some time doing just that!
