How often do you update or revamp your child’s bookshelf?
As parents, we are guilty of buying them a lot of toys, gadgets and new accessories but the one thing I try to balance it out is by getting my child a lot of books to keep her collection new and exciting. How many Indian-author books do you add to your child’s collection? Here’s why we at Kidsstoppress have always believed that your kids must balance it out by reading more Indian-author books that help them connect with the stories better.
And luckily for us- these are good times for book lovers!
