Hello!
How’s the hottest month of the year treating you?! Insane heat forcing you to stay indoors, right?
And if your kids are complaining about spending time indoors, just switch on the AC/fan, and serve them lemonade and a copy of their favourite book. They will cool down in no time!
Also, this week is Mother’s Day week! Honestly, we would love to have a day off, to get some rest, some ‘me-time’, some flowers, some chocolates and the list can go on!
But what’s more important is the freedom to be who we are. To follow our passion and to not be judged or labelled as per others’ purview.
So this week- we have curated the 3rd volume of The Ultimate Summer Reading List- broken down age-wise for your kids + we have curated another special list of the best books to read with your kids that spell all the love for Mother’s Day.

What Smart Moms of Readers Do…
What’s your book budget- for everyone in the family? Do you have a weekly or monthly allowance on how much you are willing to spend on books?
Not all have. And it’s awesome if you have a limit too. It’s just that make sure you encourage your kids to spend more on books and reading than on other stuff- simple.
And if you are looking to ways to save more while not cutting down on your reading time. Here is an awesome offer- only on Kidsstoppress!
