Why Reading To Young Children Is Important

Children’s picture books are a doorway into the complex world of language and emotions, helping children to understand the world around them. They allow children to imagine, and can help them develop empathy, creativity, and problem solving skills, as well as strengthen family relationships.

Picture Books Can Be Fun

The stories I tell are not only engaging, educational and memorable, but above all… fun and enjoyable for both parent, and child.
