Big Dreams from Little Voices: Books for Your Kids' 2025 “Resolutions”
My son’s preschool had the kids all share what they want to do more of in the new year. Unlike us adults who are often setting productive goals, these little ones answered with the things they loved that they want to do more of. I think we can all take a page out of their book! So, inspired by these kiddos’ replies, here are some books for the kids who want to do more of something they love.

The Snowy Day was even confirmed as the most frequently borrowed book in the history of The New York Public Library! I’d like to recommend a lesser-known book by the authors of each of these books. They may not be classics, but they are just as worthy of reading. Some of them I enjoyed even more than their popular “sibling book!”
5 First Books for Baby
My baby is almost four months old! At this age, babies tend to love high-contrast black-and-white images. Looking at these images is supposedly super beneficial to their brain development!

Do you have a little one going to sleep away camp for the first time this summer? How are they feeling about it? Are they ready? Maybe the better question is, are you?
