Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder

(the first in the series is Little House in the Big Woods)

A family strives to build a life together on the prairie. In one particular book in the series, The Long Winter, the Ingalls family experiences a time very similar to quarantine. Maybe we can all relate to that book a little more now!

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

A story about four sisters that, although set in the 1800s, is as relevant today as it was then. After you finish reading this one, make sure you watch the movie!
