First, I’d like to say that my first post on here is titled “I’m 27 and felt like a teen mom” 😂 it’s such a surreal feeling. Anyways, so many great books! We will have to acquire these or at least search for them in our library. A couple favorite of ours is Hands On by Anne Wynter, Sweetest Kulu by Celina Kalluk, Be Boy Buzz by bell hooks, Mushroom Rain by Laura Zimmerman and You are my I love you by Love and Ichikawa
I love the idea of curating a little library to welcome a new baby! Most of my friends have asked for books instead of cards for their baby showers and I'm always happy to oblige. We LOVE The Hair Book! That's a great pick. My go-to is Dog's First Baby! Followed closely by Pharrell Williams' board book, Happy!
I've seen that and love when parents-to-be do it! I've seen some people sign the inside like they would a card, which feels super special. I have to add Pharrell's to my gifting rotation.
I love this so much and often do this for my friends as well! Granted, I'm not as thoughtful as you though because my hometown has a great bookstore (Diane's Books in Greenwich, CT) that allows me to call and describe what I'd like to gift. Based on the family and my suggestions, they pull together a group of books, put them in a cute little red wagon and tie a toy on top. It's so cute and makes for a gorgeous gift display!
😉 I'd invite you to my baby shower based on your book picks! Books are such a thoughtful gift that any parent accepts graciously. I love gifting books as well!
What a great list! We have read many of these and love them! My daughter loves Ada Twist, Scientist, but we'll have to read Aaron Slater, Illustrator next!

So many good picks, thank you!!
This is a fab roundup! I love the rule on buying only baby books where the protagonists are people of color—going to steal that for myself.
Thank you!
love all of these! have found the peekaboo baby books to be very popular with my toddler. this is a great list.
I love that!! They're so cute.
I loved this roundup, thank you. Going to get Peekaboo Baby!
I recently picked this one up, called "Wish Soup," about the Korean Lunar New Year so my little one can stay close to her roots: https://booksofwonder.com/products/9780316457361
Thank you!! Wish Soup looks adorable, adding to my list of books to give. Hope you enjoy Peekaboo, it's so cute.
Books are my favorite gifts (to give and to receive) - always! There are so many gems in here to add to my gift lists and to our own library.

Wait I love that so much. Now you're giving me ideas for the next time I got a baby shower IRL!
Loved this. So many new books to buy 🫡
You'll have to let me know what you pick up :)

Haha, thank you!
I always give people "All The World" (board book version) because it's beautiful, it rhymes, and it's kind.
Ooh, I'll have to check it out!
LOVE “All the World” and “Everywhere Babies” - big favorites for me/my husband and our daughter.
the best baby gift!
I still owe one to Mr. Anton!!
So many of my most favorite children's books are here!
I'm loving where the genre's heading as well as what's already available. So many good books to read.
I currently have some baby events on my radar! Adding books to the list!
Thank you!!
I would always gift anything written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter! 🐇
A classic!
What a great list! We have read many of these and love them! My daughter loves Ada Twist, Scientist, but we'll have to read Aaron Slater, Illustrator next!
nothing more special than the gift of reading! excellent round up
