I love kid books. A new tradition I've started is instead of buying a card for a baby shower, I now spend the money on a great book. If you think about it, a $5 card could buy a really cute board book. And what a great way to help begin or grow a book collection! My current favorite, granted it's usually more than $5, is
On the Night You Were Born by Nancy Tillman.
"On the night you were born,
the moon smiled with such wonder
that the stars peeked in to see you
and the night wind whispered,
life will never be the same.
Because there had never been anyone like you...
ever in the world."
...
"Heaven blew every trumpet
and played every horn
on the wonderful, marvelous
night you were born."
What books do you LOVE in your collection? If you were to recommend ONE book to another mom (or parent) to have in their book collection, what would you recommend?
