Children’s books & stories aren’t just for kids.
Did someone (or everyone) manage to convince you along the way to give up the simple pleasure — the wonder and delight — of children’s books because you were “too old”?
They were wrong.
No shame, no guilt.
If you used to love children’s books, there’s no reason to turn your back on them now.
Indulging in — and savoring — these sorts of stories is one of the simplest and best forms of self-care for your nervous system and your brain.
Just as it did when you were a book-crazy kid, your brain still wants — still needs — the familiar comfort and imaginative play offered by wonder-filled stories and the adorable characters that populate them. And make no mistake: many of these books & stories are as profoundly meaningful — are just as “important” — as anything written for adults.
