There are so many books out there that are recommended to those who are expecting and those who have kiddos! I have read so many as an educator and thought that I would share a list of books that I recommend! I'll start with pregnancy then move to postpartum then into childhood! I used to feel that I had it all figured out and I didn't need a "book" to help me. But then I started to stumble across some of these books and they helped me in so many ways!

 

 

I try to lend out what I have and try recommend many of them as often as I can because I know that we are all going through our own parenting journey!

 

Here is a list of must haves!
