Summer Reading Challenge (And Some Favorite Picks)

"Summer is for..." Sleeping in? VBS? Family trips? However you'd finish that sentence, it's no surprise that the answer for us here at Westminster Kids is: BOOKS! 

Summer is a great time for kids and families to get into rhythms of reading and books that were hard to make space for during the school year. So we're excited to announce that along with StoryGlory Kids, we're partnering with Redeemed Reader and Moody Publishers for a Summer Reading Challenge.

To kick it off, we thought we'd list a few of our favorites from that list.
