Picture books are one of the great joys of life for both children and parents. In just a few illustrated pages they tell compelling stories that resonate with a wide range of audiences. Reading them is fun, but the sparkle of imagination and love of story in a child’s face as they listen is unmatched. As an added bonus they’re short, which makes it easy to read story after story in a single sitting.

We have a lot of picture books in our house, and while some of our favorites are on these list, I’ve picked these particular books because they explore some important aspects of Unschooling: the importance of imagination, self-driven exploration, pursuing passions, etc. In my humble opinion, these are picture books that every Unschooling family should have in their home library.
