Welcome to Family Dinner Book Club! This fun family project is meant to bring your family closer together over good books, good food, and great conversation.
Are you new to this fun project? Here is what you need to know to get started.
All About Family Dinner Book Club
Family Dinner Book Club invites you to share a great story, great art, great conversation, and great food each month. A variety of picture books and chapter books will be chosen for your enjoyment.
The project is perfect for children ages 4-8, but can easily be adapted for younger and older children.
On the first of each month, we will share everything you need to plan your Family Dinner Book Club.
You will then have the rest of the month to read the book, complete your service project, make your table decorations and enjoy your meal.
Growing Book by Book and Sunny Day Family will be working to bring you Family Dinner Book Club each month. Look for great book recommendations, conversation starters, menu ideas, and more.
You are welcome to follow along each month with us or pick a previous month to do.
Also, follow along with us on our Facebook page! We love to see pictures of your special dinner. Plus, we share extra materials to support your book club each month.

“My daughter keeps wanting to read it over and over again, and she loved seeing footage of Ivan!” Jazmin regarding Ivan: The Remarkable True Story of The Shopping Mall Gorilla
