Importance of Children's Books

Children's books play a crucial role in teaching life lessons to kids. While reading to children, it is essential to choose books that entertain and educate simultaneously. The goal is for kids to grasp important life lessons, even if they may not fully understand them. Besides benefiting children, these books also offer valuable reminders and lessons to parents about love, creativity, humanity, and wonder.

“You’ve read plenty of bad books as a parent. The ham-handed kids books. The nonsensical ones. The vanity projects. The patronizing ones. Why are you reading to your kids? To teach them to read, of course. To spend time together, of course. But also to teach them about life.”

Ryan explains the purpose that stories should serve in your children’s life, and launches his new book The Boy Who Would Be King, on today’s Daily Dad Podcast.
