“Children’s books are where wonder starts,” she said.
“I care deeply about encouraging parents to sit down and read with their children. There is real research showing that shared reading strengthens attachment and increases oxytocin, the hormone tied to trust and bonding. Ten minutes with a book is not just story time, it is child feeling safe and seen. If I can help create more of those moments in families, that is so incredibly meaningful.”
