When we stop sorting books by age and start sortin When we stop sorting books by age and start sorting them by depth, the reading landscape changes dramatically. Many picture books are often written with enough complexity to challenge adults too. A good litmus test: if a picture book sparks a 30-minute discussion after a 10-minute read, it's doing serious literary work. Tell us a picture book that moved you as an adult💜 #ammatoday
Such a joy reading this special book - Amma's Magi Such a joy reading this special book - Amma's Magic Handbag with the sweetest bunch of children at @hindustanonline , Chennai. My favourite part of reading aloud to children is watching how different children engage with the same story in different ways, how their eyes light up at different times and how they process it in their own unique way.💜 #ammatoday
Thinking deeply about what book a child may enjoy Thinking deeply about what book a child may enjoy is an act of love. And I refuse to taint it. Age guidelines are a marketing tool publishers use. Are they useful? Sure. But are they developmental truths for everyone? Not really. So instead of generic comments and dms that read like prompts for AI (suggest books for x years old), give me long essays about your child's temperament, needs, interests, goals and reading journey. Please. :) I hope this gives you direction on things to consider before picking a book for a child in your life.💜 #ammatoday
