I love giving Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers as a new parent gift. I feel like it's similar vibes as If You come To Earth, although admittedly I haven't head that one yet! I also love almost anything by M.H. Clark, especially You Belong Here. Total tear jerker. Thanks for sharing your gifting strategy!

Yes I've heard great things about that Jeffers book but have yet to read it! I love all things Oliver Jeffers though so adding that to my list asap. And thank you for the M.H. Clark rec- also adding to my library queue!

This is such a great methodology and list. And that embosser?! Wow, what a personalized crafting treasure.

I’m adding If You Come To Earth to our library stat too. Thank you for the rec!

My favorite book to give new parents is The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld. It’s a beautiful way to describe our range of emotions and feelings through the eyes of a child. I also really appreciate how the main character Taylor is gender neutral, with their name, the clothes they wear and by not having pronouns in the book.

Thank you for this thoughtful curation!
