2022 Holiday Picture Book Gift Guide

The holiday season is drawing near and for many people that means gift-giving in abundance! Not surprisingly while I was growing up, my Christmas list often included a list of books. There were often American Girl books on my list to fill out my collection as well as a ton of other books that I wanted to read.

Books make great holiday and birthday gifts for people of all ages. In fact, on vacation this summer, I got books for my whole family! It was so fun to pull together books I thought they’d enjoy. The hardest part is that there are soooo many titles out there! It’s difficult to find the right books for the right people.

Often, I’ll see parents and grandparents at the library looking for books for the little ones in their lives. It can be overwhelming to see the shelves and shelves of books available to choose from. Often, people revert back to titles they knew from their childhood that they remember. And classics are classics for a reason! But, there are so many amazing new titles out there to check out too.
