Toddler-PreS–A true celebration of the love and bond between women. Mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, and friends are celebrated for the meaningful and loving ways they support each other every day. However, Galentine’s Day brings a special opportunity to truly show the women in our lives just how much they do for us. “You’re my gal—yes it’s true. You brighten my day. There’s no one like you.” Carefully drawn and playful illustrations show girls of varying ages, skin tones, and abilities: a mother rocking her baby, a grandmother baking with a granddaughter, two young girls playing together, and a child giving an aunt a greeting card.
VERDICT This heart-shaped board book is the perfect read-aloud with a baby, toddler, or preschooler.
