NOVEMBER | GOD GIVES GOOD GIFTS
Best Books for Babies and Toddlers: November Edition
Everywhere we look this month (at the harvest table, in store displays), we are reminded of giving. In November, Monthly Menus invites caregivers to use every one of them as a prompt: "God gives good gifts!"
James 1:17 anchors this month: “Every good and perfect gift is from above.” We get to help our tiny humans start to see the world through that lens. Here are the books I love for this month:
Happy (Psalm 92) by Sally Lloyd Jones— This is a brightly illustrated, rhyming book full of praise. Every good thing the psalmist lists becomes an opportunity to point upward and say, "Thank You, God!"
Play In Any Weather: Indestructibles Book — This book does a beautiful job connecting everyday experiences (including weather!) to praise. It reminds us that joy and gratitude aren’t dependent on our circumstances, but they’re rooted in the goodness of the God who gives good gifts.
Thank You God, from A to Z by Pamela Kennedy — This is a simple book of everyday things children can thank God for. This is one that grows with your child as they begin practicing their alphabet.
I See You Wonder by Deborah Farmer Kris— One of God’s great gifts is wonder! Curiosity about our world naturally leads us to notice new things about God’s creation and His word. If we let it, wonder moves us straight to praise and thanksgiving.
Want a simple, intentional way to use these books all month long without doing hours of lesson prep?
That's exactly what Monthly Menus was designed for. Each month's curriculum fits in a menu sleeve and is ready to guide your conversations, songs, prayers, and playtime.
