Magic Reading Room

Thank you!!! My kids will love books like this , especially my 6yo.

you're welcome- I have to give the credit to the Pagan Book Club which directed me to a site where I am reading more about magical books for kids. I tried to post here the ones appropriate for nature religion but possibly non pagan families.

  Aidan's First Full Moon Circle
  Aidan and his parents have been solitary witches for as long as he can remember. At the rising of the Harvest Moon, his family is invited to a local coven's Full Moon Esbat celebration. Aidan is jittery about joining a Circle full of strangers. While he is enjoying himself around the bonfire, the High Priestess and his mother cook up a plan to get him involved in the Harvest Moon ritual. Aidan learns he is an important member of the Pagan community. While reading the story, children can help Seamus the squirrel gather enough acorns for the coming winter by finding where they are hidden within the captivating illustrations. An enchanting, fictional tale of a Wiccan nighttime gathering, Aidan's First Full Moon Circle will engage young readers with magical images while introducing some coven ritual basics.

  A Magical Child
   A wonderfully illustrated Pagan kid's book that explores Pagan magic, Wiccan customs and holidays through one child's point of view. ...this work is an enjoyable romp along with Rabbit and her family as she learns about her religious path. The story is timeless, and the information within even more so. This book should be a required text for any religious study involving our youth — both Pagan and Non-Pagan ...Excerpt from the foreword, M. R. Sellars Join Rabbit in a joyful spin around the Wheel of the Year as she celebrates with her family and learns about herself and her Pagan Ways. This Pagan kid's book, An Ordinary Girl, A Magical Child is lavishly illustrated with original watercolor paintings. Written for school-aged children, whether they are being raised Pagan or just are curious about a friend or relative's spiritual Path, this book explains in a clear and gentle voice just what a Pagan is, what Wiccans believe and how one family celebrates throughout the year.

Here is a cute one that I found at the library used book sale. The Woman Who Flummoxed the Fairires retold by Heather Forest and Illustrated by Susan Gaber.

I saw this on Amazon today- It looks really great

Thank you for this!  I like to tell my son stories at bedtime, instead of read to him from a book.. if i read from a book he'll just grab it out of my hands or ignore me and jump on the bed ; )

But I was running out of stories...  ; ) Thanks

one of my fav books from childhood:

Jeremy Thatcher Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville

Hey

I am looking for books that have a multitude of well fairy tales, that are pagan and female friendly.  My daughter who is 9 loves these.   She loves the ones out of Circle Round, and out of the Feminist Fairy Tales by barbara walker, and Wild Girls.  Does anyone have any ideas?  i love the picture books, but they are so expensive, and her reading level is above them, so i'm looking for a book, with more that one story.  any ideas would be great.  BB
