Thinking deeply about what book a child may enjoy Thinking deeply about what book a child may enjoy is an act of love. And I refuse to taint it. Age guidelines are a marketing tool publishers use. Are they useful? Sure. But are they developmental truths for everyone? Not really. So instead of generic comments and dms that read like prompts for AI (suggest books for x years old), give me long essays about your child's temperament, needs, interests, goals and reading journey. Please. :) I hope this gives you direction on things to consider before picking a book for a child in your life.💜 #ammatoday
I think the stories that feel most Studio Ghibli t I think the stories that feel most Studio Ghibli to me are the ones that trust children with slowness. You know the ones that aren't worried about short attention spans, the ones that don't scream loud colour and crazy plotlines. The ones that feel like serotonin. Books where nature comes alive and wonder is celebrated. Books where emotions are allowed to be complicated and children are allowed to discover them at their own pace. Don't ask me for age guidelines. I've split them according to level. Picture books (3+), middle grade (8+) and you, the adult can enjoy all of them. Tell us, what is your favourite Studio Ghibli coded book? #ammatoday #ammatoday_books
