Recs if you like Guess How Much I Love You...

Here you’ll find a multitude of children’s books featured in the 1998 film You’ve Got Mail, which, if you’re unfamiliar, heavily features a children’s bookstore called The Shop Around the Corner. Nothing brings me joy quite like children’s literature and 90s nostalgia, so I have painstakingly studied the shelves featured in the film to bring this list to life. I hope that at least one book here unlocks a nostalgic memory for you, or at least conjures a smile of recognition.

I learned to read between 1995 (birth) and 2000, and these are the books that taught me how. As some of my peers raise their kids, I find us all returning to the first titles we remember reading to share with them and ignite their passion, and I think that's beautiful tbh.

P.S. My mom helped me make this list. 🫶🏼

children’s books that personally bring out all the nostalgic (& sad) feelings😭✨

There are so many wonderful books for kids. This list includes a few of mine. Enjoy!

I don't have kids. Its a high possibility I will never have them, but will end up being the random aunt-uncle who lives overseas and sees my future nieces and nephews once every five years. But if I end up deciding to adopt a child or two with my partner, these are the books I'd want in their room to read to them.
