The best children’s books of 2021

0

It’s no secret that reading with your children can become a source of family bonding. Reading is unique in that it is an activity that grows with your child throughout their early years, and so on as they venture through school and even into adulthood!

Not only are books a great way to instill an appreciation for learning and exploring, but it’s also a time for you and your little bookworm to come together. Reading is a safe space to encourage their big, bold and beautiful imaginations, challenge them to see things from different angles, and gently encourage them to ask questions. Ditch the screen time and grab one of those paintings or picture books instead.

Here is our pick of the best children’s books of 2021.
