Is there anything better than snuggling up under a fuzzy blanket with your kids and reading “I love you” books? This time of year (and all year long!) I love you books tell our kids that mom and day love them always, forever, and no matter what! We love these books for Valentine’s Day and any day!

I Love You Because You’re Youby Liza Baker is the reason we put this little collection of love books together. Little Sister had this book read to her preschool class this week. She told me all about this book on the way home from school. When I told her we actually have that book in our collection, she was so excited! We’ve been reading I Love You Because You’re You a feeeeew times since then. (A LOT of times.)

Love You Forever

by Robert Munsch has the words, “I’ll love you forever
I’ll like you for always
As long as I’m living
My baby you’ll be.” This book is pretty much a tear-jerker for moms.

Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney

I Love You Through And Throughby Bernadette Rossetti Shustak is one of my favortie books to read (and recite) to my kids. One of the Aunts got this book for me as a baby shower gift and it is a special one for all of my kids (even after they’ve grown beyond the board book years)!

I Love You, Stinky Faceby Lisa Mccourt is a book about a mom’s unconditional love for her child. We love this book for it’s message…and for the chance to say “stinky face”.

You Are My I Love You by Maryann Cusimano is another mom-tear-jerker. LOVE this book! We first read this book at the library and I loved it so much that the kids (aka their dad) found it as a Mother’s Day gift one year.
