Reading is so important for our kids, for building their vocabulary, opening their imaginations, and so many reasons to list.We love books around here, and I try to make reading as enjoyable as possible, If that means mommy getting into character i’m doing it.
I read to Alani almost every night. After bath time I have her pick the books she wants to read and bring them to me. For the past few weeks she’s been picking out the same books, and I absolutely love these books.
- I Like Myself by Karen Beaumont
I love how this book shows children to love themselves from inside and out, no matter if your nose or lips are big, if your hair is curly, etc. It tells you that you should love yourself for being you, and no one else. This book as written in the summary is “an exuberant ode to self-esteem that celebrates the joy of liking who you are” Thanks Glamma for this book!
2. No No Yes Yes by Leslie Patricelli
This book is great for the toddlers like mine who are at that stage of unrolling the toilet tissue from the bathroom, purposely throwing food on the floor, etc. because they simply think it’s funny. I love how this book gives these toddlers the alternatives of what they should do. Alani finds this book soo funny, and it’s so cute when she waves her little finger and says no, no, no! (Her great grandma taught her that one, and it’s hilarious)
3. First 100 words by Priddy Books
This book is good for your baby to start putting pictures to the objects they hear. I love using real objects to show Alani what things are like “Look at the purple ball”, Or “Yellow banana”, but if you don’t have all these objects around it’s great to have this book as a reference for them, especially for the babies who loves to read. Alani Has literally been obsessed with this book since she first got it. (Another one of glamma’s picks)
To all of my parents, it is very important that we read to our children daily. I know sometimes you may be tired from a long day of work or just a long day period, but even if it’s one book go for it. Our babies are the future.
What are some of your babies favorites?
