What are we trying to solve?
When it comes to reading, almost every parent faces at least one of these problems:
- How do I get my child interested in reading?
- What should my child be reading at this age?
- My child prefers watching a video than reading a book.
- There are so many children’s books and new authors I am not familiar with.
- What kind of books will inspire my child to be creative and imaginative?
And so on.
Who could solve these problems better than another book lover, parent or a peer?
Presenting The Community Solution!
Kids Book Café is a community for parents, children* and book lovers to recommend, review, discover, re-discover and buy age-appropriate children’s books. It’s a fun place where parents and children can discover different children’s books, publishers and of course authors – especially the new age Indian ones we didn’t have while growing up. It’s a safe place where one can freely share suggestions and ask anything related to children’s books and reading. And it’s a cosy place where book lovers can pass on their legacy of passion for reading to the next generation.
Kids Book Café is a humble, heartfelt endeavor to ensure our children grow up reading good books – both old and current, for the love of reading and not as a forced task. Nowadays, with increased screen time and shorter attention spans, ensuring our kids read physical books has become a challenge. So to overcome this challenge, the idea of building a community of book loving, involved parents who want their children to be creative and feed themselves with everything books can offer, was born. Together, we intend to help other parents by sharing what each one of us has
This is a work-in-progress and we urge all of you to contribute your ideas and thoughts to make Kids Book Café each parent’s go-to place for all things reading & writing.
