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.
