books for Graduation & Life's Many milestones

Picture books are not just for kids and they make a wonderful and thoughtful gift to give a graduate, whether it be a preschool, high school or college graduation. These titles are thought-provoking, moving, and inspirational and perfect for life's many milestones. Even if you do not have a graduate in your life we encourage you to share these books with the loved ones in your life. Their messages are timeless and worth hearing at any age.
​

Rather than give a card to a graduate, consider gifting them with a picture book with a handwritten message from you inside. 
Or, when your own child is still young, purchase one of these books, ask your child's teachers to write a message inside at the end of each school year and then present the book as a gift on their graduation.
