My good friend Kate just gave birth to a handsome little boy named Aiden! She and her husband are both avid readers, so before Aiden was born her mother-in-law threw an absolutely beautiful children’s book baby shower for her. If you’d like to see pictures from the shower, take a look at this post! It was simply perfect! Here’s a teaser:
My small contribution to the shower was printing images of children’s book quotes or quotes about books to place on all the tables. Quite a few of them I found online and just re-sized and printed, but since they’re not all my images to share, I will just share the quotes I used and let you Google-image-search them yourself!
- “There are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all.” – Jacqueline Kennedy
- “I knew who I was this morning, but I’ve changed a few times since then.” – Alice in Wonderland
- “Now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story no one on earth has ever read, which goes on forever; in which every chapter is better than the one before.” – C.S. Lewis
- “If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.” – Winnie the Pooh

- “I’ll eat you up, I love you so.” – Where the Wild Things Are

- “Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.” – Lemony Snicket
- “I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.” – Little Women
- “Once you are real you can’t become unreal again. It lasts for always.” – The Velveteen Rabbit
- “And above all watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.” – Roald Dahl
- “If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” – Roald Dahl
There were a few quotes that I really wanted to include that I either couldn’t find a good image for, or couldn’t find one at all…so I created them myself! These are the ones that I will share with you for free! Scroll down for the download links.

[…] Children’s Book Quotes from Unoriginal Mom} {2. Mongrammed Print from Managing the Manor} {3. You Are My Sunshine from […]
We are getting ready to do a children’s book themed baby shower and I’m loving your framed quotes ideas. I am wondering where you got the images of the background on the frames that you didn’t include in the printables???
Hi Katy! I just did a google image search (or a Pinterest search) of the quotes and found most of them that way. They’re not my images to share so I didn’t link to them here, but I think I was able to find just about every quote on my list that way. (Now that was 2.5 years ago so some of them might be gone…but I bet you can find a bunch!) Hope that helps!
