Kids Color Our World 2025
Jun 14, 2025 - Aug 09, 2025
This program is designed for kids from pre-K through grade 5 (generally aged 2 to 11) to encourage life-long learning and curiosity. Use one of our
paper bead trackers
to track your reading to show our volunteers and choose your beads!
Recording your books on
ReadSquared will earn you points toward raffle tickets
for end of summer prizes.
We have lots of fun things including personal story times, honorary librarian (for a day), robots, Crayola Experience tickets, and more for end of summer prize packages.
Using the bead tracker lets you keep track of what kinds of books you read through the summer. Each time you read a book it can only count as one type of book - picture book, animal book, mystery book, graphic novel, etc. Each type of book will earn you a bead for your summer reading necklace and create a keepsake that you will have well after the summer is over. EVERYONE who registers will get a necklace, only those who read and record their reading will add beads to their necklaces and get a chance at prizes at the end of summer.

The Windeby Puzzle
by Lois Lowry
View in Library Catalog
The Windeby Puzzle by Lois Lowry is a historical fiction. It is easy to read and you can learn more about a skeleton of a young child that was found in the Windeby bog. The author, Lois Lowry wrote the story in two different endings after she noticed that the first story she wrote was inaccurate. The second story is written by another character's point of view and the endings are different. Both the stories show the lives of Iron Age people. I loved how the author made an accurate story using the details that she had and I would recommend the book to people who like historical fiction.

I enjoyed the little sketches, the main character nikki made and I also liked how she described all her feelings into her notebook. I felt happy that she is sharing her feelings.
Starfish
by Lisa Fipps
View in Library Catalog
Starfish by Lisa Fipps is a fiction poem book. The book is about the main character, Ellie, getting bullied by her friends, strangers, and even her own family just because of her weight. Ellie just wantes people to see her inside self, not just her looks. She must fight and gain courage to stand up for herself. Luckily, she isn't alone. Even though this book was a poem book (and I usually don't like poem books) I really enjoyed reading it. I think that many people who get bullied or don't get seen as their true selves would gain courage that they are not alone after reading the book.

One Christmas Eve, Dr. Julius Kane and his kids, Sadie and Carter, use the Rosetta Stone to [accidentally] unleash five gods. The kids' uncle, Amos, takes them to Brooklyn House. When the 2 kids leave Brooklyn House they will learn spells, escape demon fruit bats and fight gods! This is my favorite book because I like Egyptian Mythology!

Harbor Me
by Jacqueline Woodson
View in Library Catalog
Harbor me by Jacqueline Woodson is a fiction book. The book was mainly about the narrator of the story, Haley, and her discussions with her friends. As part of a special class, Haley and her six classmates go to the ARTT (A Room To Talk) room every Friday to talk amongst themselves (without a teacher). At first, all the children have no idea what to talk about in the room. However, as time goes on, they start to open up about their lives and the many problems in the world. Talking with each other helped the children feel better about their own problems and even make new friends. Personally, I would rate this book a four out of five because the book itself was very meaningful and thoughtful but I think that it was a pretty slow book in comparison to other books that I have read before.
Tales From A Not-so-happy Birthday
by Rachel Renée Russell
View in Library Catalog
This book was okay because i felt that the author mainly focused on nikki's birthday party and not other things that she should be concerned about. But I liked that she solved her main problem of planning her dream party.
