Take your family on a “road trip” this summer, between the pages of a book—or two! Reading opens doors to strange new lands and wonderfully amazing experiences. Reading together opens up worlds of possibilities for great conversations with those we love the most. Our last Summer Book Club of the year shares stories from Africa.

Copper Lodge Library offers a collection of stories presented in a beautiful series of books for the whole family to enjoy. Build a family culture by reading these stories together and have meaningful conversations about wisdom and virtue.

Reading can magically transport us to faraway places, introduce us to new people, and teach us new skills. Reading is also a gateway to great conversations and exciting explorations. In this week’s episode, Lisa shares three stories from Exploring Insects with Uncle Paul and provides some great conversation starters and ideas for further family explorations. Don’t miss it! (It’s also a great read aloud moment for your kids!)

New to the Copper Lodge Library this year is English Epic Poetry, a collection with Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and selections from Canterbury Tales and Paradise Lost.

Build a family culture by reading these stories together and have meaningful conversations about wisdom and virtue. Even in the less overtly religious poems of Sir Gawain and Canterbury Tales, readers find Christian themes like courage, forgiveness, and right use of power.
