Since Swifties bought a million copies of Taylor Swift's Little Golden Book in just seven months, publishers are giving fans more of what they want. A half-dozen other Taylor Swift books for kids are dropping soon.
With a choice of picture books, chapter books and even a Mad Libs activity book, you're bound to find something for a Swiftie-to-be, mini Swiftie, teen Swiftie and even full-grown adult Swiftie. Pre-order them now so you don't miss out. Add 'em to Easter baskets or wrap them up for birthday gifts. Or if you did manage to score Eras tickets and haven't gifted them yet, slip them inside the pages for the surprise of a lifetime.
And be sure to tell them that Taylor herself once said that reading made her a better songwriter because it helped her learn how to "paint a picture with a song."

A modern Oh, The Places You'll Go, this picture book rocks as either a graduation or baby shower gift — a sign of a true unicorn. Empowering, heartfelt (but not too cheesy) text is whimsically illustrated, especially the scene of Taylor and her cats. We also heart the last lines: "You exceed my wildest dreams, baby! And your era has just begun." Ages 3+

A solid 320-page read chock-full of details, this biography is every grown Swiftie's guidebook to TayTay's life. It was first published 10+ years ago, but just recently updated so, yes, it includes the Eras tour and Taylor's relationship with Travis. It's going to be released only in paperback, so don't mix it up with the older hardcover version. Ages 11+

- Release Date: February 6, 2024
If there ever were an activity book that lends itself to being Taylor themed, it's got to be Mad Libs — where you fill in blank space (get it?) with adjectives, verbs and other parts of speech to create zany stories. The 21 topics in this edition are riffs on Taylor Swift hits ("Fall Too Well") or her fandom ("Bonding Over Bracelets"). It's all great fun to play with fellow Swifties, but couldn't they have made it 22? Ages 8+
