I love the month of love, and there are many children’s books that happily celebrate the beauty of friendship. Below is a list of books to help you and your child do just this. 

 

Happy reading!

The Friend Ship by Kat Yeah

I just love this concept. There is a little ship that is filled to the brim with friends. The illustrations are as charming as the story.

How to Spot a Best Friend by Bea Birdsong

I mean, how cute is that? In the story, a young girl describes the lovely qualities of a best friend. The illustrations are top-notch and so cheerful.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Mouse! by Laura Numeroff

I’m a HUGE Laura Numeroff fan and love her If You Give series. I think she is brilliant. This story is truly a celebration of friendship, as Mouse gives his friends valentines that most represent what he loves about them. So precious, and Felicia Bond’s illustrations NEVER disappoint!

I Can Only Imagine by Bart Millard

How special! This story is a beautiful way for your child to celebrate his friendship with Jesus. The illustrations are soft, yet eye-catching.
