Hi friends!!
I’m happy today because I am here to talk books! And even better, children’s books! Picture books hold a very special place in my heart and bringing home stacks and stacks to read with my girls every week has been a highlight in my life. I share a lot of seasonal/themed book lists on here (here’s an entire archive) but I wanted to focus on early years books today. These are the books that we continue to come back to over and over again. I like the below because there’s a bit of variety: fun rhyming, counting, alphabet, phonetic fun, fables, fairy tales, early readers, I spy fun, diversity… and truly, just wonderfully written and illustrated stories that add beauty to your day. I hope you find some new titles below to add to your library holds and bookshelves.
Also: You don’t have to be a homeschooler to enjoy them with your family! x
