Festive & Faith-Based Fall Books for Littles

The older Lively gets, the more excited I am for the changing seasons. Whether we’re picking flowers from our backyard summer garden or chasing yellow, brown and orange leaves as they swirl about in the fall breeze, I just love exploring all that each season has to offer with her.

She’s also at the age where she LOVES to cuddle up in my lap and read books – one of my favorite things about being a mom! To compliment all the things I’m looking forward to experiencing with her this fall, I’m excited to add some new festive and faith-based fall reads to her bookshelf. From apple orchards and pumpkin patches to falling leaves and thankful hearts, these books are perfect for introducing babies and toddlers to God’s blessings through the autumn months!
