COURTESY LITTLE BLUEPRINT<\/span><\/p>\n

From\u00a0family trips to the library<\/a>\u00a0to promoting\u00a0literacy programs in schools<\/a>, it\u2019s no secret that\u00a0Jennifer Garner<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a big fan of instilling a\u00a0love of books<\/a>\u00a0at an early age.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the mom-of-three is excited about the launch of\u00a0little<\/strong>\u00a0BLUEPRINT<\/strong><\/a>, a line of kid-friendly reads created by her good pal,\u00a0Katherine Eskovitz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was one of my first mom friends. Our kids went to preschool together,\u201d Garner, 41, tells PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

Eskovitz originally penned the stories \u2014 which are designed to help children cope with life challenges including divorce and death \u2014 for her own children.<\/p>\n

However when Garner got wind of the project, she quickly put in an order for her little ones, including daughters\u00a0Violet<\/strong>, 8, and\u00a0Seraphin<\/strong>a<\/strong>, 5 next month, and son\u00a0Samuel<\/strong>, 22 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love\u00a0little BLUEPRINT books<\/a>\u00a0because they respect kids\u2019s intelligence and ability to [work] through things that can be tough,\u201d Garner says. \u201cThey\u2019re still cherished at my house because they tell very personal stories and are filled with very personal photographs.\u201d<\/p>\n

She adds, \u201cThey [also] empower kids \u2014 even little kids \u2014 to take charge of their emotions, their sleep and their bodies. Kids process their lives through stories [so] why not make the stories about them?\u201d<\/p>\n

The collection \u2014 which is available in both standard and personalized versions \u2014 includes a book focusing on how a family should prepare for an emergency, which is a topic the\u00a0Garner-Affleck<\/a>\u00a0children found very interesting.<\/p>\n

\u201c[It] proved to be a great conversation starter in my house,\u201d Garner says. \u201cAfter reading\u00a0To Be Safe at Home, I Have a Plan<\/em><\/a>, my kids prompted me to work with them on our family\u2019s plan to stay safe in an emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, with three kids and a busy schedule, it\u2019s the nighttime routine book that Garner often turns to before bed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I read the sleep meditation Katherine had written for\u00a0When It Is Time for Bed, I Have a Plan<\/em><\/a>, I found it so charming, so soothing and sweet that I asked if I could record it to play for my kids,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The actress\u2019s version was an instant hit in her household, leading Garner to offer her personal recording to the author to add to the series.<\/p>\n

\u201c[My kids] love it and we listen to it as we are winding down our day,\u201d she explains. \u201cI hope [other] kids like it as much as mine do!\u201d<\/p>\n
