I've written a few booklists recently that went viral. Booklists of read alouds for young boys and girls. But what about books children can read on their own? Chapter books that make them feel a little more grown up?

I've put together a list of favorite Advent and Christmas books to help you and yours celebrate the season through read-aloud time.

The Middle East is not only an interesting study, it's an important study. We've put together a reading list for you that includes fiction and nonfiction for students of multiple ages.

If you read through this list and disagree with some of the inclusions or absences, chances are good that I agree, at least partially, with your judgment as well.

But this year is different. I've been avoiding political discussions as much as possible. I've even vowed to keep political posts off my personal Facebook page.

"Can you suggest books for my boys?" is a question I've been asked countless times over the years.
