Classic Books for Every Age
Not only did my parents read to me nightly growing up, but they also made a point to gift me with beautiful hardcover copies of classic books that have become cherished keepsakes. I want my daughter to grow up with the same tradition. Here’s my roundup of the best classics to gift and read for every age.
For Baby (0 - 12 months)
There’s a reason it’s the number one book for babies. This classic board book follows a hungry young caterpillar as he eats his way into becoming a beautiful butterfly. Huh, sounds kinda like my little Evy.
For Toddlers (1 - 3 years)
One of the first dreams I had for my daughter when she was still growing inside me was that she would be brave, kind, and clever - regardless of what she decided to do with her life. This book perfectly captures that sentiment.
The Wonderful Things You Will Be by Emily Winfield Martin, $10
For Preschoolers (3 - 5 years)
I want to teach my daughter the gift of giving and of giving back to community, and this classic is a great start.
For Early Grade Schoolers (6 - 9 years)
This is a beautiful story of love and friendship that will join the ranks of classics on Evy’s bookshelves.
For Late Grade Schoolers (9 - 12 years)
This book captured my imagination and is one I absolutely want to share with my daughter.
