“Honey for a Child’s Heart fueled my desire to create a reading culture in our family, but it didn’t only do that. It also showed me how. I consulted it faithfully for years to point me toward the best books that would help my kids fall in love with reading—and it worked! I’m thrilled that an updated edition can do the same for a new generation of families!”
“Honey for a Child’s Heart was an essential resource when I was first learning how to look for truth and story in literature for children. Now I want to read everything recommended in this edition to my five boys! The Hunts offer practical wisdom for laying a family’s foundation in Scripture, choosing books that help us find hope in the midst of difficult circumstances, and balancing reading with digital habits. This book feels like all the warmth of a bracing hug, followed by a confident nudge to press on.”
