Yesterday, as Women’s Day posts filled my feed, Yesterday, as Women’s Day posts filled my feed, I kept thinking about the quieter influence of stories. Long before children hear big conversations about equality, they notice who gets to explore and lead in the books they read. Listen, I love books like Goodnight stories for rebel girls but quickly realised they don't work for all children and all families. Here is a primer I hope will help you reflect and pick up books with intention. Are these the only titles I love in each category? Absolutely not, they were simply at the top of my mind as I drafted the post. What kind of girlhood stories do you think our books and stories need more representation of? P.S. please do not ask me if boys can read these books too. Everybody can. #ammatoday #ammatoday_books
Come with me into a beautiful, intimate parent–c Come with me into a beautiful, intimate parent–child circle inspired by our book Amma’s Magic Handbag. Together, we read the story and gently explored our emotional landscapes through thoughtful art therapy prompts. We spoke about big feelings and found ways to make them relatable. Parents and children practiced emotional coaching conversations, shared a guided visualization, and finally painted a small “magic bag”, a little place to carry reminders for the hard days. A quiet space for connection, reflection, and holding feelings together. 💜 @thelittledipperpublishing @notesonbrush #ammatoday
Putting this out here gently, not from a place of Putting this out here gently, not from a place of superiority but honesty and humility. In respect of the work that goes into creating and reviewing a children's book. Of course, this is not the only way or the right way. I'm simply sharing what I’ve come to value after spending a lot of time with children’s books. Save if you think this gives perspective and something to consider. And tell us in comments what makes you pick a book? #ammatoday
