Favorite childhood story? 📚 I remember loving The Indian In The Cupboard when I was younger. That and Matilda were the books I remember reading the most. But, I have such fond memories of reading to my son. Anything Dr. Suess, all the fairy tales. The velveteen rabbit and the giving tree 😭😭😭 children’s literature is full of such powerful stories! 📚 I was thrilled when @harperbooks @jenmurfee sent me #theenchantedhour 🌟 it’s all about how powerful reading aloud to your children can be. I remember I used to read everything I read out loud, textbooks included, when my son was a baby. Language develops so young and the brain is such a mystery. Not only can this help develop their skills, I still have memories of all those times. Before he understood the stories, he would calm down and fall asleep to the sound of my voice. So precious! I love seeing and hearing all of your stories of reading with your kids. And even seeing them as part of your account! Warms my #booknerd heart 🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/BszHlPKH3Eh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pwclgjhgm295
