“Tell me a story.” We at Sparkle have heard this request hundreds of times from our own children. Stories help to soothe, to teach, to entertain, and to shape our family cultures.

We've compiled a list of books that our Sparkle team has read to their children or that their children are reading. It's broken down into three age brackets to help you decide what books might be work best for your family — but don't hesitate to break free of the mold if you'd like!
