Reading to your child each night does more than build vocabulary. Research shows it shapes how children think, regulate emotions, sleep, and understand others. Shared reading activates key brain networks, supports emotional regulation through calming routines, and builds social understanding in ways screens cannot. A few quiet minutes with a book and a caring adult can create developmental foundations that last far beyond childhood.

Many people assume children’s books are simple because they’re short, but writing for kids demands far more precision than most adult books. Young readers don’t tolerate clutter, confusion, or complicated language. Every word, image, and idea has to be clear, engaging, and age-appropriate. Crafting a book that truly inspires a child is far more challenging than it looks.
