The Peaceful Preschool Volume Two is our newest resource in the Peaceful Press family of literature-based resources!
It includes 26 preschool lessons featuring the best nature and social studies books available for young children.
Children will read about diverse people and events worldwide to help them grow in compassion and joy as they play and learn.
Each book is available as a YouTube read-aloud, but if you'd love to expand your library, we've also linked them to Amazon for easy shopping.
