Jij bent de liefste

My four-year-old asks for this one every single night now—it's the only book that seems to match how huge her feelings actually are. The way it puts words to all that big love and worry feels like it was written just for our bedtime.

My little one is only two, but the way this book puts into words the giant feelings she can't express yet made me tear up on the very first read. The pages are thick enough that she can turn them herself without ripping, and the idea of welcoming a new sibling has become a nightly favorite for us bo

The illustrations are gentle and the text captures those big, hard-to-explain feelings perfectly. My three-year-old asks for it every night, though I wish the pages were a bit sturdier for little hands. It's a lovely way to start conversations about emotions.
