Are you looking for a wonderful list of children’s books set in New Hampshire? Here are some of our favorites! Each of these children’s books is either set in New Hampshire or features a person who has close ties to the state. As one of the 13 colonies, New Hampshire has a long history in early colonialism. It is also home to the gorgeous White Mountains and was always my very favorite state growing up!
