Children’s Books About Family
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
This year, our extended family took a much-needed vacation together for the first time in years. This time away together was memorable for sure, with lots of mishaps and some crazy bad luck, but also with lots of time to chill out together over a puzzle, to eat together, and to create our family ‘story.’ Our family story is all the shared experiences, memories, and inside jokes. It is all the heartaches, the laughter, and the love day after day and year after year.
Join us as we celebrate family with some of our favorite books, and add your suggestions in the comments below.
Happy Reading!

June 8, 2016 at 11:58 AMThanks for the great book recommendations. I was only familiar with less than half of those titles, so definitely something to add to our next library visit.
I’m going to pin this for future reference.

June 8, 2016 at 7:55 PMWe love How to Babysit a Grandma (and they have a Grandpa addition too) as well as What mommies/daddies do best. I keep wanting to read Eight Cousins with my boys. I remember loving that book when I was younger.
