BOOKS TO LOVE

It’s a day dedicated to celebrating all things LOVE, and we couldn’t be more excited! Here are a few of our current and past favorite books that touches upon the importance and meaning of love. (I have also included our favorite books from last year, because books never go out of style 🙂 <3

FOR THE BOOKSHELF – BOOKS ABOUT FEELINGS AND LOVE

WORDS AND YOUR HEART – This is by far my favorite Valentine’s Day book this year and if you don’t have it, it is an absolute must. It is a beautifully written and illustrated book about the power of words, and how we can use them to change the world by changing how people feel about themselves. It is written in a way that really speaks to young children, but really it is a book that everyone can enjoy from ages 3 to 103!

PART OF MY HEART – This book always makes me cry! About motherhood, and how your baby will always be a part of your heart.

HUG MACHINE – I got this for DJ because he is such a hugger and as a boy mom, it really spoke to me 🙂 This is perfect for younger children as well.

LOVE IS – Another absolute favorite!!! This book always without fail makes me tear up. About a little girl who adopts a baby duckling and raises it like her own, only to let it spread its wing and send her off into the big wide world (sound pretty much like motherhood!). BUT it has a very happy ending 🙂 My daughter’s favorite book!

DINOSAUR KISSES – Adorable little book for younger children. My son loves it when I make those silly noises and silly kisses on him.

LOVE MONSTER AND THE LAST CHOCOLATE -A follow up to a classic “The Love Monster” (see below list from last year). It is just as good as the original and also great for younger babes!

I LOVE YOU LITTLE POOKIE – My son LOVES EVERYTHING from the rookie series, so of course we had to get this for Valentine’s Day!

–VALENTINE’S BOOK LIST 2018 EDITION–

The list below is our book list from last year, but we still love and enjoy them just the same!

~LOVE MONSTER– A lonely monster finds love when he least expects it!

~IN MY HEART– All about the different and complex emotions that a child may feel, described in a way that toddlers can relate to and understand.

~PLANT A KISS– simple and timeless tale about love by the famous children’s author Amy Rosenthal.

~LOVE IS A TUTU– an instant classic AND a favorite for any young girls taking their first ballet classes. Dannica loves recognizing all the dance steps and moves.

~LOVE IS A TRUCK– a follow up book to the run away hit “LOVE IS A TUTU”, this book is just as adorable and fun to read!

~THE COLOR MONSTER– a beautiful pop up book that teaches young toddlers all about their feelings in terms of colors. This book is a MUST. It is so beautiful and interactive and toddlers gravitate towards the simple yet effective story line.
