Favorite books for St. Patrick’s Day:
We love our seasonal book collections. These are great to pull out at the beginning of March and get the kids excited about leprechauns.
Before I had kids, I didn’t really celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but I quickly learned the first year we had children (when a leprechaun “visited” our daughter’s daycare classroom) that this brings so much joy to little kids!
