Baby Shower Sampler
These titles were listed recently for a baby shower in the area. The range and quality demonstrate the flexibility and variety that I can provide for a dedicated purpose like a baby shower. How else may we customize? Retirement party? Teacher certification or first job? Housewarming?
This worked because I could report sellouts to browsers so no duplicate gifts would be given, even though I am likely to stock many of the titles all the time.
Let me know if I can prepare a list — or follow yours — for a person or an event that calls out for books as gifts.
The Story of Ferdinand
The Story of Ferdinand
A true classic with a timeless message!
All the other bulls run, jump, and butt their heads together in fights. Ferdinand, on the other hand, would rather sit and smell the flowers. So what will happen when Ferdinand is picked for the bullfights in Madrid?
The Story of Ferdinand has inspired, enchanted, and provoked readers ever since it was first published in 1936 for its message of nonviolence and pacifism. In WWII times, Adolf Hitler ordered the book burned in Nazi Germany, while Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, granted it privileged status as the only non-communist children’s book allowed in Poland.
The preeminent leader of Indian nationalism and civil rights, Mahatma Gandhi—whose nonviolent and pacifistic practices went on to inspire Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.—even called it his favorite book.
