From the article: Books for Pagan & Wiccan Kids
There aren't a lot of books out there specifically for kids in Wiccan and Pagan families. That makes it kind of tough sometimes to find books... however, once you do a little digging, you'll find there are a ton of books that support Pagan and Wiccan principles and values. Things like stewardship of the earth, respect for nature, reverence of the ancestors, tolerance for diversity, a hope towards peace -- all things that many Wiccan and Pagan parents would like to see instilled in their kids. Tell our readers what your family's favorite titles are!

Growing Up Pagan: A Workbook for Wiccan
- I was hoping to get on Patti's list here, as she did give this book a rave five-star review on this site. It is indeed a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing full color workbook filled with crosswords, word seeks, mythology, gorgeous illustrations and a final test and Certificate of Achievement that children may hang on their wall.

How about "Bambi"?
- Not just the Disney version, but the original book by Felix Salten. It was my favorite for years and years! Also, Susan Cooper's "The Dark is Rising" series is good fiction with a nice pagan flavor.

ABC Book of Shadows
- By Katie Lydon Olivares; artwork by April Choi. An ABC book for Pagan children; a board book, so it is for very young children. It teaches the ABC's while giving lessons in Pagan beliefs. Example: Top of the facing pages/boards: "Aa Altar...Bb Beltaine". Bottom of the facing pages/boards: "A is for altar, your sacred place to pray. B is for Beltaine, the fairies' balefire day." It includes a glossary at the end of the book with more detailed definitions.

The "Warriors" Series, by Erin Hunter
- A lovely (although violent) story about a clan of feral cats who are guided by their ancestor spirits. Helpful for dealing with big themes like death, grief, eco-destruction etc.

the Magic Broomstick series
- These are board-books, and there are 4 in the series. They concern the adventures of Witch Willow and her friends, and the stories center on being honest and trustworthy, being kind, helpful, friendly, accepting of others' differences, and taking responsibility for yourself and your actions. All are good things to learn, whatever path is followed. They are written by Ann McKie and illustrated by Ken McKie.

The Wee Free Men
- Terry Pratchett's children's books are all about tolerance, responsibility, and how you have to learn when not to use magic in order to know when to use it. The Wee Free Men features the practical nine year old Tiffany and her quest to rescue her brother from fairy tale monsters.
