10 Great Harvest Books for Kids

Is it just me, or is Halloween getting spookier and more ghoulish every year? I had to shield my preschooler’s eyes from the gory displays when I walked into my local big box hardware store last week! Fortunately, there are sweet and fun alternatives to Halloween that we can enjoy with our little ones this time of year: pumpkins, hay rides, apple cider, changing leaves and everything that comes with the harvest season!

Reading with our kids also can help them focus on the good things about this time of year – not the creepy! Here’s a list of some of our favorite books to celebrate God’s goodness and blessings through the harvest. Check out the collection below and save up to 60% off select books! ~ Jaime Guthals, FaithGateway Family
