It’s the holidays! The time of year where we grant gifts to our loved ones. Some of us have a hard time deciding what to get and I’d like to offer something you can’t go wrong with: books!
No matter the age, a good book is the gift of adventure, knowledge, and new perspective. Recently, I needed help finding a good book to gift my niece. My preferred genre is YA to Adult fantasy, sci-fi, and fiction. She’s a little young for those books. So, I called on my writer friends and here’s some of the children’s books they recommended. Maybe you’ll find one in this list you could gift away?
