About
At the heart of every journey is a simple beginning. Our collection of books gently reminds parents that the qualities of character, courage, and creativity often originate in the soothing rhythms, images, and words of a shared narrative. For children, these tales are an open invitation to dream, discover, and envision the possibilities that await them in the future. Every new day begins with a story—often, the simplest narratives spark the brightest futures.

Free Family Summer Reading Chart
Rolling Hills Estates, CA, May, 22, 2026. A summer family reading log is a wonderful way to encourage children and adults to build strong reading habits while spending meaningful time together. Tracking books, reading minutes, and favorite moments helps families celebrate progress, stay motivated, and create positive memories around reading. It also encourages conversations about stories, characters, and ideas, which can strengthen communication and learning at home. Of course, families should celebrate reading goals with summer treats and adventures like ice cream trips, bowling nights, swimming days, beach outings, and other special family fun activities. Because Verde Publishing realizes the importance of reading, it has created a Family Summer Reading Chart to help families make reading part of their summer fun and lifelong learning journey. Just drop us an email and we will send you one.
