Books can take the mind to any place, any time—and even, on occasion, in between place and time. I can’t think of a more appropriate gift for a baby than books.
No, babies can’t read. But boy, do their minds absorb everything they encounter! I wanted to buy a collection of books for my son and nephew that we can read to them for many years, and that they can read once they learn how.
A la Maria Popova at Brain Pickings (one of my favorite places on the web), and the Boing Boing gift guide, I found these beautiful children’s books, each with an important lesson.
My son and nephew will be getting a great start in life with these books. I can’t wait to start reading to them!
