There’s even more to add to your bookshelf or library list, especially if you get a gift card this holiday season. For families with preschoolers, the “All the Time” series is one that will last for years as their children grow.

“All the Time” series by Deborah Farmer Kris, illustrated by Jennifer Zivoin (Free Spirit Publishing, ages 2 – 6)

The four beautiful books in this series – “You Are Growing All the Time,” “You Wonder All the Time,” “You Have Feelings All the Time,” and “I Love You All the Time” – are gentle guides for parents and children that teach valuing all the things that make individuals special. Kris is a child development specialist and that shines through in both the kindness of the picture books and in the caregiver guides at the back of each. These are terrific additions to any preschool home or classroom.
