What are the best books for back to school?

Nothing beats a good book to generate conversation and connection leading up to the first day. These books for back to school are some of my favorites we read year after year.

Remote learning, homeschool, or heading in the school doors, I am confident these are some of the best books for back to school that will bring a little more joy leading up to the first day.

Over here, school begins in just a few weeks. Gasp! Where did the summer go? Here we are ramping back up for the new year, and it’s time to break out the back-to-school books. – Especially as we help my eager rising Kindergartener prepare for his first day!

What makes a great book for back to school?

There is a lot more to the first day of school than back-to-school jitters. Classrooms are about meeting new friends, believing in yourself, and understanding how to have a growth mindset.

I wanted an inclusive booklist that encompassed it all!

Back to school prep
Best books for kindness
Books for believing in yourself
Creativity

Ready? This back-to-school book list is AWESOME.
