Story time is part of many otter meetings. \u00a0Kids just love stories, and picture books can help them relate to others, grasp new ideas and develop empathy for others and our natural world. Amazingly, you can even do a story time over zoom, if your group can’t meet in person. But if you aren’t a children’s librarian, how do you select books to read? \u00a0Doing a quick google search can help, but those don’t always bring us the diversity we want to show our children as part of our programing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If we want to be truly welcoming to all, we need to select books that reflect that. This book list is offered as a starting point for reading books with your group that go beyond the animal stories we often choose. The stories are about nature and inclusion and should go nicely with your otter program. \u00a0The books listed below have a range of themes. length and challenge, so read ahead to see if it works well for your group.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
