A note for parents
This is a parenting and educational handbook, not a children's book—it's designed for adults to learn how to read aloud to children. It contains no harmful content and instead offers research-backed advice, strategies, and anecdotes about fostering literacy and imagination. The book itself models the positive values it promotes: curiosity, the power of shared reading, and intentional parenting. This is a resource for caregivers rather than a title to assign a reading age to.
