Wonder-Filled Stories for Advent

A Children's Book List

Advent is a time of anticipation, hope, and wonder. Stories help us slow down, reflect, and dream together, which is why we’re excited to share a curated list of children’s books for Advent, gathered by our own Chandler Farris. Chandler is a mother, educator, and children’s librarian.

These stories of kindness, joy, and waiting nurture a sense of wonder and spark meaningful conversations. You might check some of them out through the public library, or add a few to your bookshelf.

VIEW THE LIST on First Christian’s Bookshop account.

If you choose to purchase a book through Bookshop the church will receive 10% of the sales, which will be used to help acquire new children’s books for the church.

📚 Make it special: Plan a weekly “story night” where you light a candle for Advent and read as a family. It’s a simple yet powerful way to create memories and teach the values of hope, peace, joy, and love.
