We would love it if you could share your favourite childrens’ books with our child, so we can build a library for them to grow into.
If you would like to give a book as a Christening gift, please email the name to us and we’ll enter it below to avoid duplication.


Please write a personal message in the book that explains to our child:
- who you are
- why you’ve recommended the book
Here’s an example and below a list of books we’ve already received.
