2025 Holiday Indie Children’s Book Reading List
By Judy McGee / November 17, 2025
The holidays are a great time to slow down, relax, and enjoy stories with the
children in your life. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or
simply love the spirit of the season, this year’s Holiday Indie Children’s Book
Reading List brings together a collection of books written by independent
authors who care deeply about storytelling, creativity, and connection.
Each book in this list was submitted directly by the author and reflects their
unique voice. You will find stories that highlight kindness, courage, imagination,
friendship, and adventure. These titles make thoughtful gifts for families,
classrooms, and holiday celebrations throughout December.
Supporting independent authors helps keep fresh ideas and diverse stories in
the world. Your purchases, shares, and reviews all make a meaningful difference.

1. Explore the books and visit the author’s websites.
2. Purchase using the links provided.
3. Leave an honest review after reading.
4. Share the digital flip book with friends, family, teachers, librarians, and your

5. Help spread the word by encouraging others to read and support indie
authors.

continue creating books children love.
