Okay technically I guess that should be ‘books for new parents’ (^_^). I thought I’d do a little round-up of books that I love to give as gifts to new parents or parents-to-be, plus a couple that I have on my list for the future. (I’ll do another post soon about the ‘classics’ that make great gifts in the toddler years.)

- When You Were Small by Sara O’Leary with illustrations by Julie Morstad

- Little 1 and Sparkle and Spin by Ann Rand

- Mon Paris colouring book

- Love You Forever by Robert Munsch - extra great if you/the parents are familiar with the tune of the song in the book - like most of Munsch’s books they’re best if you can deliver their readings the way he does!

- The First 1000 Days - Nikki McClure - I gave my mom one of Nikki’s calendars a few years ago and it was a big hit. The illustrations in this book are so lovely, and the idea of recording those important ‘first’ stories so great, I may grab a few of these to hang onto, and just give them out as babies are born!

Stumble it!
