The weather is cooler and the days are shorter – what better time to cuddle up on the couch with books recommended by our amazing Tapscott teachers (and even our principal)! I recently spent some time in the faculty lounge basking in the brainpower of our K-4 teachers and asked them about their favorite kids’ books. The books they shared represent a range of reading levels, story worlds, and moments of change and inspiration. They offer windows into new worlds and mirrors that reflect back some of our own experiences. I know that I’m looking forward to diving into many of these stories this winter. Happy reading!
