Promises are meant to be kept! In previous posts, we discussed the importance of books in early childhood and shared book recommendations for little ones. Today, however, we want to focus on you, parents, because books aren’t just for children—they’re for everyone. They provide us with knowledge, inspiration, and, most importantly, companionship on the parenting journey.
In a world where technology increasingly dominates our lives, books offer a pause—a breath of fresh air. They invite us to slow down, reflect, and connect with ourselves and others. Unlike screens, books immerse us in a deep space of learning and understanding. That’s why we believe that parenting, beyond the quick tips found on social media, deserves the support of expert authors and trustworthy resources.
To be honest, when my kids were little, I often wished someone would recommend books like these to me. Having access to reliable reads would have been such a relief—a guide to answer my doubts and help me understand each stage of their growth better. That’s why we are excited to share a selection of titles written by professionals who not only provide practical tools but also inspire us to be more mindful and connected parents.
These books are part of our library not just because we’ve read and valued them, but because we truly believe in their power to transform experiences. They are available for you—whether you wish to browse them, borrow them, or simply use them as a reference for those moments when questions outnumber answers. Additionally, if you’d like to own them, they can be found at local bookstores or easily purchased online.
