We are still basking in the glow of inspiration and encouragement from all of our amazing speakers from our Raising Free Range Kids virtual conference (You can get instant access to the speaker series right here!)
A fun takeaway from the event was all of the books that were mentioned! What a list! We cannot wait to make a big pot of herbal tea and dive in!
Do you have more suggestions? Let’s share and get this virtual book club started!
Note: we are sharing the link to find these books on Amazon because it’s a common platform to research titles and prices, but we want to strongly encourage you to purchase these books from your local booksellers!
