You love reading to your child, you love the cuddles, the exploring, the giggles, and the wonders.

But there are days, where you can’t keep the balance between working from home and entertaining your kids. Where you need a break after a long and exhausting day. Sometimes, you need a couple of minutes for yourself.

I know that the guilt is hitting you hard when you try to take your well-deserved break. When you try to enjoy this cup of coffee without a rush and then have a look at your kids that are missing already so much. Their school, their friends, their grandparents, the playgrounds… so many things. And you ask yourself if you shouldn’t read another book with them instead of doing this ONE thing for you.

Take your break. Enjoy your cup of coffee.

Let your kids immerse themselves into wonderful read alouds that many children’s book authors are sharing those days. They will have fun, they will get inspired, they can increase their reading skills and you can take a few deep breaths.
