Years ago, at a baby shower my girlfriends threw for me and my new, little daughter on-the-way, it turned out to be the theme party that no one planned. Nearly every gift I opened revealed a pair or two of teeny tiny baby shoes! Itty bitty tennis shoes, cute little high tops, sandals, cowboy boots, espadrilles, Mary Janes, water shoes, sneakers, and even a tiny pair of baby ballet slippers! We all got a great big kick out of it (pun intended)! I had the best-shod baby you've ever seen.
Now, I'm in the season of going to baby showers for mamas my kids' age and it's so much fun all over again. I love to give bundles of items from their baby registries, but I also love to tuck in the package something they'll enjoy for years to come — books and Bibles that will inspire their little ones to follow Jesus all their lives.
Here are some recommendations for Tommy Nelson titles that are perfect for baby showers. I hope you enjoy giving them to the new mothers you love!
