The list features more interactive works, others that talk about companionship and others that celebrate different family contexts.
Reading time, both before the goodnight kiss and during the weekend program, is usually a special time between parents and children. It is then that we can take a break from the outside world, immerse ourselves in the narratives and observe the imagination of the little ones in full swing.
And if this ritual alone strengthens the bonds between adults and children, even better when the children themselves the stories deal with familiar themes, huh? Taking advantage of the arrival of Father’s Day, we have prepared a selection with 10 books on parenting of all kinds.
The list ranges from more interactive works for children to those that speak of companionship and complicity, or that celebrate different family configurations. Write down the titles and, if you want to buy some, click on the link!
