Most toys and clothes will eventually end up broken or worn out. But if you give your child a book, they'll have something to carry with them throughout life. Pick out a special book for each of your children every Christmas. Write some loving words inside the cover, date it, and sign your name. You can start when your children are young. Choose books about something they like, such as animals, sports, or choose a favorite classic from your own childhood. As they get older, you can select books that will help them navigate through life. Start a family tradition… encourage your kids to read. Here's a few of our favorite books that we think your children will enjoy.
