100 Best Seasonal Picture Books for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter

Hi friends!

Reading books that coincide with the season… quite possibly my favorite part of homeschooling my girls. I love curating our book lists for the seasons! There are so many gorgeous books that capture the essence of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. If you start reading seasonal books to your baby and toddler, they will naturally learn what it means to shift from season to season and their interest and curiosity will continue to grow as they get older. For us, it also feels like a bit of a tradition to break out the new books when it’s transition time. We get super excited to see new titles and old friends back on the shelf.

Today, I am sharing our favorite for each season below so that you can add new ones to your library list and collection. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. x
