Meet Elizabeth
Hey there! 👋
I'm Elizabeth, also known as The Kid Lit Mama. Growing up, I cherished weekly library trips with my dad, returning home with bags full of books. Now, as a mom of two, that love for children's literature is alive and well in our household.
Through this space, I aim to share that passion with you, offering a treasure trove of children's book recommendations to fill your little ones' bookshelves. Beyond books, I delve into creative play ideas and hands-on learning activities, often inspired by our favorite stories. I also share practical tips and resources to support fellow parents in making literacy and learning an enjoyable part of everyday life.
I believe in the power of inclusive books that serve as windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors, reflecting diverse experiences and perspectives. It's my hope that this commitment shines through in the content I share here.
Thank you for joining me on this journey of nurturing young minds through stories and play.
Warmly,
