About Our Mission
Guiding children toward literature that shapes hearts and minds
Our Mission
Our team at "Books Your Children Should Read" firmly believes in the power of what a good book does to shape the mind of a child. Without literature to anchor their loves, and orient their hearts toward "The Good, The True and The Beautiful", children are left seeking out these things in popular culture, which is often a poor substitute for classically inspired literature.
"Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed."
Our Values
The Good
We celebrate literature that inspires virtue, kindness, and moral courage in young readers.
The True
We champion stories that honestly portray the world, nurturing wisdom and discernment.
The Beautiful
We embrace books that awaken wonder and help children recognize beauty in all its forms.
