Build a Picture Book Program Your Community Will Love
KidLit Books gives school and public librarians ready-made teacher guides, read-aloud kits, and thematic collections for 48 curated K–5 picture books — so you spend less time planning and more time connecting kids with great stories.
Read-Aloud Programs, Ready to Go
Every book comes with a complete read-aloud kit: discussion questions, vocabulary prompts, and a wrap-up activity — all formatted for group sessions.
Thematic Collections Built In
Browse books by theme — friendship, nature, identity, courage — and build curated displays or reading lists in minutes, not hours.
Family & Community Engagement
Printable family flyers, take-home reading guides, and parent-friendly discussion cards help you extend the library experience beyond your walls.
Standards-Aligned from the Start
Every guide maps to Common Core ELA and AASL standards, so you can demonstrate program impact to administrators and school boards with confidence.
