Although this is my third year at the KSP Awards, Although this is my third year at the KSP Awards, this is the first time I left my children behind on a school day. ( Oh how I miss homeschooling!) Yesterday, I closed a workshop, held my babies longer, and flew to Mumbai. Today, sitting in a room filled with voices shaping parenting in our country, meeting @mansi.zaveri , receiving the award from @simrun.chopra and meeting some lovely folks, surrounded by mine, and most of all taking up space, I felt nothing but gratitude. Grateful for this work. Grateful for this calling. Grateful for a community that shapes this corner of instagram. Dear community, Thank you for the nomination. Thank you for every vote. Thank you for choosing calm, reflection, and conscious parenting. Again and again. Today reminded me that when life places poison in our hands, it also places Shiva beside us..quietly holding it for us, asking only that we keep showing up with faith. If this space ever held space for you, I hope you pass it on.💜 #ammatoday

For Children who love Magic + Adventure If your For Children who love Magic + Adventure If your child enjoys Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, read these books to your child. These work really well to introduce BEFORE the HP series too- the same amount of fantasy, magic, adventure, friendship and thrill in a developmentally appropriate way, written consciously- diverse themes and important messaging written with sensitivity. The best part, these are series. Here are our top 5 (at this moment) in increasing order of complexity 1. The Uncommoners series @jenbellauthor A simple to understand plot, fantastic writing that takes us through Ivy and Seb's adventures in a magical land and finding magic in ordinary objects. This is a beautiful book with just the right vibes. 2. The Mystwick school of Musicraft @authorjess HP meets Kpop Demon Hunters. Amelia wants to get into this prestigious music - magic school but she has to learn the meaning of authenticity to finally find herself. Great world building and an easy to understand message with just the right amount of thrill and mystery. Available on KU and audible for free as well. 3. Alex vs Axel @samuel_copeland I loveeee this one so much and this deserves to be read and re-read multiple times. A hero switch of our boys in the real and magical world and how they conquer each other's problems. Big on adventure and humour. 4. Mayowa series by @chibundu.onuzo Mayowa realizes she is a logosalter- meaning she can bookjump and harness emotions in book to use in the real world. Apart from the magic and adventure I loved that this one introduces children to diversity, refugees, political climate in a sensitive way. All heart this one. 5. Momo Arashima By @misallaneous1 This is like Rick Rordian but with East Asian twist. I love that it blends Japanese lore into real strugges of tweens. Momo is struggling when she suddenly learns her mother's identity and that she has to save her mother and also fight against evil spirits. Full of action, entertainment and magic, this one is great for adults too 🤭 These are all middle grade books- meaning great for approx 7+ depending on your child's reading level and interest. #ammatoday #ammatoday_books
