Favorite Book:
My favorite children’s book is “Mama, Do you Love Me?” Written by Barbara M. Joosse. It describes the unconditional love and intuition a parent can have for a child. It has amazing illustrations which also help in further discussions with your child about the world and expands a child’s vocabulary. The book allows a parent to delve into the importance of identifying and understanding feelings.
