Teacher appreciation day is quickly approaching and we want to be sure you can find the perfect book or gift for the occasion.

Our first pick is, “Because I Had a Teacher” written by Kobi Yamada and illustrated by Natalie Russell. I love the inspiring message it sends and adore that the book is embossed and there is a special dedication page.

A gift idea we have is a Yeti. Whether the teacher is a devout coffee drinker or trying to stay hydrated, there is a Yeti in the perfect color and size. I love the rambler mug for hot coffee drinkers and suggest the rambler 30 oz with a straw lid for someone who always has water handy.

More book ideas include:

“Dear Teacher” by Paris Rosenthal and illustrated by Holly Hatam

“A Teacher like You” by Frank Murphy & Barbara Dan and illustrated by Kayla Harren

“Thanks from the Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle

“What If There Were No Teachers?: A Gift Book for Teachers and Those Who Wish to Celebrate Them” by Caron Chandler Loveless illustrated by Dennis Hill

Thank You: (a Book for Teachers) by Sandy Gingras
