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.
Who Built the Stable?
Who Built the Stable?
Who built the stable where Jesus lay? Multiple Coretta Scott King Award–winner Ashley Bryan has a very good idea in this beautiful and moving new layer to the nativity story.
The boy looked in the infant’s eyes
And in his heart he knew
The babe would be a carpenter
He’d be a shepherd too.
This beautifully crafted picture book that envisions a young boy, a shepherd and carpenter both who, out of love and kindness, cleared the way for another shepherd and carpenter to be born on Christmas day. Told in gentle rhyme and illustrated with Ashley Bryan’s enormous talent, this is a picture book that captures the reason for the season in all its wonder and beauty, celebrating Christmas, the kindness of children, and the new hope born with each new baby.
