Hello friends!
Looking for books to gift for the holidays?
Here is my annual compilation of books we’ve enjoyed throughout the year and would make great holiday gifts.
I love giving books as gifts for all occasions specially around the holidays as they are a great way to promote love of reading from a young age.
New for this year are chapter books, as my kids continue to get older they’ve started reading more of them and even venturing into MG land.
So in no particular order:
Picture books:
1. Angélica and La Güira by Angie Cruz, illustrated by Luz Batista
2. The 1619 project: Born on the Water by Nikole Hannah-Jones & Renée Watson, illustrated by Nikkolas Smith
3. A face is a poem by Julie Morstad
4. Being home by Traci Sorell, illustrated by Michaela Goade
5. Why do we sing? by Sam Tsui & Casey Breves, illustrated by Sam Tsui
6. Love in the Library by Maggie Tokuda-Hall, illustrated by Yas Imamura
7. The heavy bag by Sarah Surgey, illustrated by Larisa Ivankovic
8. No more Señora Mimí by Meg Medina, illustrated by Brittany Cicchese
9. I am La Chiva by Karol Hernández, illustrated by Lorena Alvarez Gómez
Chapter books:
1. Kwame’s magic quest by Bernard Mensah, illustrated by Natasha Nayo
2. Henry, like always & Henry and the something new by Jenn Bailey, illustrated by Mika Song
3. The Kids in Mrs. z’s Class, various authors
Most of these books are appropriate for ages 3 and above and can be read to them by adults or by young readers who are learning to read on their own. They also reflect our emphasis on reading diverse books throughout the year.
I have reviewed most of them in previous IG posts. You can also check out my recommendations from previous years here and also on IG.
Have you read any of these with your kids?
Do you like to gift books?
