Mother’s Day is one week away (5/10)! While moms should be celebrated year-round, it’s always nice to take the opportunity for a special day to honor their love and care.

Naturally, a lovely gift for moms is a book to share with their little ones! If you’re looking for a special read to tuck into gift baskets or share over breakfast in bed, here are some recent releases about motherly love that we recommend!
