I picked up some really wonderful books from my local library this month. I usually do a quick browse of the shelves to see which covers catch my eye. I think these covers are as lovely as the words inside. I’ll be doing a full review of these three books in the coming weeks, so stop back again soon to check them out.

But for this post, I thought I would do something a little different. Picture books can be such a powerful parenting tool because each one comes jam-packed with meaning. Whether you need to teach a lesson in sharing or being kind or fitting in or just about anything, there is a book you can find to help have that conversation. I’ve outlined the important lessons from each of these books below. Pick them up at your library or click on the titles below to buy. Happy parenting!
