for the love of books

My friend Christine helped me find the perfect books for our girls when I was looking to add a book to each of their stockings over the holidays. When Christine reached out for me to host a book party for her it was a no brainer because I love supporting other families whose values align with ours. I know her son Ryder enjoys these books as well and will have to learn to share them all with his soon-to-be baby brother! 

While there are a variety of books, manipulatives, puzzles, art books and books for literally every subject and holiday I am sharing my favorite Valentine / Friendship inspired books below. We use the upcoming Valentine's Day to focus on friendship, love, acceptance and being kind. Check out these recommendations!
