Story Time
Now that it’s February, love is definitely in the air! So what better to read about then hugs, kisses, and love.
Here are ten children's picture books inspired by love that make great reads for this month.
Guess How Much I Love You, by Sam McBratney, is a classic story of a conversation between Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare. No matter what Little Nutbrown Hare comes up with to compare his love to, Big Nutbrown Hare goes a little bit farther. This precious story of the interchange between a little one and his caregiver is touching and makes the perfect book to snuggle up and read.

The Giant Hug, by Sandra Horning, tells the story of a little pig named Owen who is determined to send his grandma a hug for her birthday. The only problem is that she lives across the country. Owen comes up with an ingenious way of sending her the hug. His idea starts by hugging his mail carrier. This hug is then passed from worker to worker until it finally reaches his grandmother. Not only does she receive his loving message, but the huggers in between are also touched by this experience.
Hugs and Kisses
I Love You So…, by Marianne Richmond, was one that I purchased for my step-daughter when she was young. Through its bouncy cadence and vibrant pictures, many examples on how, no matter what a child does or says, their parents still love them.

Great list. Some of these are favorites of ours too. Another “hug” book we love is Hugless Douglas. It is a fabulous book about a bear who wakes up in the spring and goes looking for hugs in all the wrong places. The end pages are really need because they illustrate drawings of different kinds of hugs.
