Latter Day Saint centered morning basket

A morning basket is a wonderful way to invite beauty and goodness into your homeschool day.  As Latter-day Saints, we understand the importance of studying “out of the best books” to bring an increase of the Spirit into our home and homeschool.

These book suggestions from LightSail make the perfect addition to your Latter-day Saint Morning Basket.

Perfect Books for a Latter-Day Saint Morning Basket

  1. Book of Mormon Stories No. 1 

This version of Book of Mormon stories was adapted for young Primary children.  Kids will become familiar with stories from the Book of Mormon and learn to love them and the lessons they teach.

2. Hymns, Songs, and Fables for Young People
