This original book review was written by and posted on behalf of Sondra Eklund.
Book Bonding is a collection of essays about the joy and wonder of reading to and with your kids. Written by a children's literature professor and white mother of seven in a "multiracial, adoptive, queer, blended family," the author tells plenty of stories where books connected her with her own children in notable ways.
A long book list in the back will give you plenty of ideas, and her approach models ways to get your kids talking about their thoughts and concerns - via shared books. Every time I dipped into this book, I was reminded of the power, beauty, and joy of reading with kids, and this made my children's librarian heart happy.
