— Elsa Beskow and Her Swedish Children’s Books

In my experience with toddlers and children in early childhood I can say with confidence that they love being involved– in whatever you’re doing! What better way to encourage a lifelong love of reading than to offer your younger students their own mini books? Not only will they be responsible for their little library, but they will be matching with one of the most important adults in their lives. Foster independence, demonstrate trust, and teach care & gentleness for books with these mini hardcover editions.
