Best Holiday Books for Children this Season

It’s officially the holiday season! While we get into a festive spirit, it’s important to continue reading 15 minutes each day. To spread holiday cheer, Osceola Reads has gathered the best holiday books for children. That way children can read during this season and during winter break. All these books for kids can be found at Osceola County libraries.

It's Christmas, David! by David Shannon

Peeking at wrapped gifts, writing letters to Santa, and trying to behave at holiday parties is what being a kid at Christmas is all about! Since we know Santa is watching, will David get the new shiny fire truck he told Santa he wanted, or will he find a lump of coal under the tree?

Fa La La by Leslie Patricelli

Baby is so excited for Christmas! There are so many things to decorate and presents to make. Not to mention, there is also a chance to visit Santa and sing carols. Baby put its own fun spin on a traditional holiday with friends and family.

Kwanzaa by Lola Schaefer

The history of Kwanzaa, created in 1966, is told through texts, photos, and illustrations. It tells the story of Kwanzaa and the importance of how it honors African Americans. 

Llama Llama Holiday Helper by Anna Dewdney

Help Llama Llama and her friends get ready for the holidays as they hang wreaths, bake delicious treats and decorate! Llama Llama knows exactly how to get in the holiday spirit and is more than happy to help her friends as well.

This is the Dreidel by Abby Levine

Max and his sister celebrate Hanukkah together and enjoy using the dreidel during the holidays. Also, they learn about the history of Hanukkah and the importance of the dreidel.

Head to the nearest Osceola County Library to pick up all of these holiday favorites and more. Remember, making time to read 15 minutes a day, not only will you hit the magic number, but your child will be reading for 5,475 minutes each year or over 91 hours. That’s some serious reading! #OsceolaReadsGoals
