Kathryn the Grape books are mindfully created to grow with children through each stage of early learning. With colorfully simple, expressive illustrations and thoughtfully crafted scenes that reflect real-life moments, Kathryn the Grape books are offered in three intentionally layered levels designed to support children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development as they grow.
Level 1: Nursery Rhyme Songbooks
Seven-books and seven-songs of familiar nursery rhymes with thoughtfully adjusted words that add a gentle Kathryn the Grape flair. These playful adaptations preserve the comfort and rhythm of classic nursery rhymes while introducing inclusive language, positive messaging, and joyful opportunities for shared reading and singing.
Level 2: Social-Emotional Character Development Songbooks and Stories
This collection expands learning through mindfully inclusive stories and songbooks that enrich character development. Using simple, rhythmic storytelling, these books help children develop self-awareness, build social awareness, and practice making thoughtful choices. Through relatable characters and everyday situations, children are introduced to foundational character traits such as kindness, empathy, responsibility, and cooperation in ways that feel accessible and meaningful.
Level 3: Affirmation Series
This seven-book collection features a slightly older cast of characters that bridge the gap between picture books and early chapter books. Written in relatable first-person language and paired with vibrant illustrations, these stories support children in building confidence, strengthening emotional literacy, and developing a positive inner voice as their reading independence grows.
Learning Tools
Many Kathryn the Grape books connect directly to original Kathryn the Grape songs, reinforcing learning through music, repetition, and movement. By pairing storytelling with song, the Kathryn the Grape collection engages multiple areas of the brain, supporting memory, emotional regulation, learning acquisition, and sight word recognition. Together, the books and songs create a cohesive, heart-centered reading experience that helps lessons stick while supporting children as they grow, learn, and shine.
