This month our featured topic is “Spring”. I love spring. Spring adds new life, brings sweet air, and paints the world into vibrant color. In this lovely season, what can children read to appreciate the beauty of nature? Check out our recommendations for spring reading!
After a long winter nap, the baby bear finally got the chance to come outside the house. The outside world was so fresh and colorful. This is an interactive book for young children to learn colors, to explore nature and to build some vocabulary.
What’s more exciting than seeing new babies? This book not only teaches children some facts about animals, but also connects young children emotionally. In addition, the illustrations of the book are very beautiful. All ages will appreciate this book for the text and the illustrations.
What do you see when you are outside? Another colorful book to inspire children to explore our mother nature and appreciate the gift mother nature gives us.
In addition to the natural beauty in spring, we also have the opportunities to try a lot of colorful food.

After staying indoors for a long period of time, animals can’t wait to go outside and explore something new! This book reminds us to pay attention to small details. We can find happiness from the little things!
I personally think this is an empowerment book. Sometimes you may be small and unnoticeable, but you have the potential to be strong and wonderful. As long as you never give up, keep working, and wait patiently for your time to shine!
Spring is a perfect season to plant. This book gives you an idea what you can plant in spring. Also, the book helps young children to learn colors and build vocabulary.

Being different means bringing new and fresh ideas to the world. Isn’t it dreadful to see the same thing everywhere all the time? Who says you can only plant flowers in your backyard? Grace Lin tells us that planting some ethnic vegetables, and sharing your secret recipes will bright the neighborhood and bring the community together.
There are so many things you can do in spring with children. For example, you can plant a seed with children. Create a chart and record your observation of your plants every week. Or you can go to a local farmer’s market to get some colorful food, try the food with children, and ask for their opinions. What does the food look/feel/smell like? What color is the food? Is the food sweet, tangy, bitter, mushy or something else? Or you can take a listening walk with children in a neighborhood or a park. Try to encourage children to use fives senses to discover the beauty of nature. Share with us your favorite spring activities!
