The Best Picture Books to Give this Holiday Season

The Best Picture Books to Give this Holiday Season

During the holidays, it's pretty common for kids to ask for a long list of tech, toys, and games—books not so much. You can choose to get the children in your life one of the most special gifts you can get a person—a new book.

A book isn't just a story — it's also an experience of adventure, love, loss, friendship, and much more. And, it's an experience that kids can have over and over and over again as they come back to the story or discover a new one. So when you gift a book, you give a child the opportunity to experience people, worlds, and situations they have yet to discover as often as they'd like.

Gifting a book also promotes learning new words, exploring different cultures and perspectives, gaining life lessons, and developing positive characteristics. A perfectly picked book can even inspire a little creative and future storyteller!

Books as holiday gifts are also a way to nurture a love of reading, especially if they're just getting started reading on their own. And if they're already an avid reader, it encourages them to keep going.

For the One Who Loves To Laugh

Hearing the children in your life laugh is one of the best sounds in the whole wide world, so this holiday season, give the gift of laughter to the little giggler in your life. Books with kooky characters and silly situations are a sure-fire way to keep your kiddos entertained. And after they finish it once, they'll want to go back again and again for a good laugh.
