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.

I'm A Poet And I Know It!
by Dan Gutman
View in Library Catalog
I found it pretty good but got boring later. And at the end Mayor Hubble pulled off a “April Fools” prank but it wasn’t on April the 1st! It was April the 2nd!
Sunny Makes Her Case: A Graphic Novel (sunny #5)

Sunny is impressive because her debating team won first prize and I wanted to be like her.
Lu
by Jason Reynolds
View in Library Catalog
Lu by Jason Reynolds is the last book in the track series. Personally, I thought that this book was second best (after the first book, Ghost). This book was mainly about Lu and his different points of views of the track team, the coach and the big secret that his dad is keeping. I really enjoyed reading this book because of its twists and turns. Also it was very interesting to see how characters that Lu thought he knew show a totally different side of themselves outside of school or outside the track.
The Running Dream
by Wendelin Van Draanen
View in Library Catalog
The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen is a fiction. It is about Jessica, the main character, facing many challenges after she got in a car accident and lost her leg. To make matters worse, Jessica used to be a runner. Now, she has to start her whole life over, starting from learning how to walk. This book was very inspirational to me because even in tough situations, Jessica didn't give up and fought her struggles till the end. I would definitely recommend this book to people who like running or need something to encourage them in their lives.
The Mysterious Benedict Society
by Trenton Lee Stewart
View in Library Catalog
The Mysterious Benedict Society is a mystery and adventure fiction book. The book was about 4 children on a dangerous mission to save the world. The 4 children are all orphans with many talents. Their goal is to go to a certain boarding school and find out how and why Mr. Curtain (the antagonist of the story) is planning to control people's minds. This book was a fairly long book with approximately 500 pages and it was a little hard to understand in some parts. However, if you like mystery, then this book is so much fun and interesting.
Superfudge

I liked this book because it had humor, suspense and the character made manny mistakes which I feel like everyone can relate to.
Super Boba Café
by Nidhi Chanani

I really enjoyed this book because I love boba. There was an element of horror and funny scenes too. The main character helped her grandmother overcome a fear of the underground demon.
Mille

I did not really like this book. Because I feel that the author made it a little bit confusing to read because of the perspectives.

Swim Team
by Johnnie Christmas
View in Library Catalog
Swim Team by Johnnie Christmas is a graphic novel. It is about the main character, Bree, facing her fears of swimming. At first, Bree didn't even like pools and swimming. However, she starts to practice swimming after she gets into a swimming elective in school. Bree eventually joins the swim team and to the amazement of others, faces her fears. During her time in the swim team, Bree faces many difficulties from not being able to swim to fighting with teammates. But she eventually figures things out. I think that this book was a good book and was very easy to understand.
