List your favorite books from when you were a child and talk about how you see them as an adult
I grew up reading “Pippi the Longstocking” by Astrid Lindgren. I associate the book with my grandma, who was always ready to share a book and a laugh with me. I found Pippi so fascinating, creative, funny and cool. I was recently reading the book to my kids and I realized that Pippi was very likely an orphan, who was dealing with life through humor. And it just hit in a different way now that I am a mom and my grandma is no longer amongst us.
List your favorite books this year and why you like them
I am a big fan of books that teach confidence to children and how to believe in their own abilities to deal with life:
“The Girl Who Figured it Out” by Minda Dentler is a must-read to every child. The world needs more real-life superheroes like her.
“Believe” by Chris Saunders is about a sloth who is trying to figure out his talents. The story and the flow, the main message, the characters, the illustrations, this book is 10 out of 10. It is not yet on the US market, but is available in many other languages.
