Creating your library — whether it’s curating your own bookshelf or exploring literature through community library rentals — is important for every child’s growth and development. Kids can learn about empathy and diversity through fun stories, all while refining different skill sets!

The Toy Insider’s Little Library series will highlight five of the best new kids’ books at the end of each month that will fill your home with laughter, love, and learning. 

June’s dedicated reading time featured outdoor adventures, empathy and acceptance, and loving family moments.
