On the younger scale, there’s Mem Fox and Judy Horacek’s This & That, and Alison Lester’s My Dog Bigsy. Jo Witek and Christine Roussey’s In My Heart is a great book for talking about emotions with your child, usually around 4+. For kids who are ready for more complicated stories, What Do You Wish for? is heart-warming tale about Christmas time, while The Day the Crayons Came Home is laugh-out-loud funny (we promise!).
