For context, this was a batch of 17 children acros For context, this was a batch of 17 children across age groups and I noticed while packing their reading portfolios that a big bunch of them were between 8-10 years old. Same age group, but different reading stamina, different preferences, different abilities and different interests. Totally unique reading lives. This is also the secret to how I pick books while gifting to children. What is their current need/ interest/ comfort zone? What is a book that still feels very close to their comfort zone but a little more challenging? All my babies were super excited about the books and some of them were touched that I knew exactly what they would enjoy. Their unique reading lives felt seen. To pick a book for a child is to enjoy knowing them, thinking deeply about them and to love them. To pick a book for a child is an act of love.💜 Let us try to spend a little more time and energy getting to know our children's reading lives, and not reduce it to an age guideline. Would you agree? #ammatoday
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
