‘Tis the Season for Book Angels

Our local bookshop runs a Book Angel program where you can buy discounted books for children in need as holiday presents.
The tree of kids to gift with books included a tag for a two-year-old girl. Ezri is inching up on her second birthday so we selected this girl to gift books. She seems much more two than one these days.

I am hoping each year Ezri and I can pick a book she likes to donate to someone around her age. Here’s what we did last year.

This year I picked (and Ezri approved with a loud “YES”) the purchase of:
Time to Sleep Sheep the Sheep by Mo Willems
and
Here Comes the Big, Mean Dust Bunny by Jan Thomas

Not knowing the girl’s particular interests, I went with universal humor and re-readability. The Book Angel tree does make me feel festive. I will probably revisit it and pick books for one of the teens on the tree – a tradition of mine that predates Ezri. Thanks, Anderson’s Bookshop, for being part of my holidays.
