Since Em was born, we've loved to read together. There are so many beautiful & fun children's books. We can't get enough of them. Some make us laugh. Some make us tear up a little. Some are new & some are from my husband & my childhood. Some we've rented from the library & some we'll forever hold dear on our own book shelves.
Here are a list of our favorites, some of which have been featured in Letters to My Little Love. If you're building a library for your own little love or need a gift idea for another little love, this is a great place to look...
