New Mother's Library

Congratulations on the birth of your new baby! One of the best things you can do for your baby is to read to him or her. Even though they may not be able to understand the words yet, they love to hear the sound of your voice, listen to the rhythm of the words, and look at the pictures. The time you spend cuddling together over a good book is unforgettable. When my daughter was born, I had no idea which books would be good to read to her, but I found some lists of recommended stories for babies. The board books below were (and still are) some of our favorites. I hope this list helps you! Happy reading!
