We are almost to the end of 2018! Whether this year was filled with joy, hardship, or a mix of everything in between, what I love most about the closing of one year and the beginning of the next is how we are able to reflect, leave the past behind, and start over again. And in my opinion, there’s no better way to start a new year than with a new book!
These books will have your child feeling excited and optimistic for what 2019 has in store. Check them out!
