So many of these queries—about proper etiquette for children in our fast-paced, technology- centered world—led her to recognize the need for a modern handbook on children’s manners. Manners Begin at Breakfast addresses rules of etiquette, including basic table manners, social media, fashion dos and don’ts, and party conversation. Illustrated with charming, specially commissioned watercolors and written in a lively, conversational style, it’s the perfect holiday present. mariechantal.com
