The Best Facts of Life Books for Kids
This blog uses affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
As much as we don’t want to admit it, our kids are growing up every day! They are changing and becoming independent people. Beginning when they are young, you can prepare them for “the talk” that is inevitable. Nature study is actually a wonderful way to introduce these concepts early, and even plants and flowers can teach kids about reproduction, growth, and change.
This week, we’ve got a big list of our favorite facts of life and growing up books for kids. These books are great conversation starters and will help pave the way for more in-depth discussions later on.
Happy reading!

Concordia Press offers a really great series that begins with pre-schoolers and continues through all the ages and stages until it reaches a chapter book that would be appropriate for a grown child to read before marriage. It’s been very helpful for our family.
I’ll have to look for those! Thank you for sharing!
I hope you’re having a great week so far! Thanks for hosting!
Thanks, Lisa! I hope you are having a great week, too!
I always felt like this was one area I did a horrible job teaching. I get all flustered and start stammering… it’s so helpful to have great books to read together.
Yep–Me too! Books help a great deal! 🙂
