It can be difficult to find books for your Pagan children to read. You want books that teach them your values, and maybe something close to your beliefs and traditions.I have compiled a list of good books by great authors. Many are outright Pagan. Some are Pagan in flavor or Pagan-friendly. I am noting when the author is Pagan to encourage support of Pagan authors and artists.

- Gatekeeper'sSon, The by Kyrja (Fantasy) *PAGAN*
Delivered stillborn, Sooshay-Chan was unexpectedly brought back to life when his mother, Mi, summoned the previous Gatekeeper, Kazuko, to formally accept her role as Guardian of the Gateway.

Mi is the only one who knows that her father’s spirit has traded places with the spirit of her unborn son in the Realms Beyond. When warned by her sister named for the virtue of Justice that she must send her father’s spirit back, or the ancient Goddess of Death will escape into the realm of living, she is torn. Never before has a Guardian had a living child; Sooshay-Chan is unique in all the history of the land. How can she save her son without destroying the world?

- Lammas: Celebrating the Fruits of the First Harvest by Anna Franklin (Non-Fiction) *PAGAN*
