We’ve entered holiday counting season: Advent counts down the days until Christmas, then the 12 Days of Christmas count down to Epiphany; Channukah counts eight days of miraculous light; Kwanzaa counts seven values of African American culture.
 
So we’re doing a Spacious take on a counting calendar: beginning with the first day of Advent (Dec. 1), we’ll highlight daily a picture book we love. We have a huge selection of Advent books, a few Channukah books, and we are seeking suggestions both for additional Channukah reads (which begins at sundown, Dec.25) and Kwanzaa (which begins on Dec. 26) reads for children. Email your suggestions to kaye@aspaciousplace.com.
 
We’ll focus on picture books, since they are an accessible delight for all ages. You’ll find our “Children’s Book Counting Calendar” selections on our Instagram, Threads, and Facebook sites.
