Am colouring to beat the negativity and anxiety. To my talented friends @emdpix @shilclix Ab itni hi art ho paati hai mujhse 😊

Comfort reading in the times of sickness. Day 3 of Dhruv's fever.

This boy was down with high fever for last 2 nights. The medicine did not work at all last night. All of us sat through the night in a state of drowsiness. Yet his discomfort was greater than ours. He persisted with asking if we are sure it is not covid19 or if it is. Here is the same boy from this morning. With the fever slightly down, the first thing he did was digging into his comfort activity - bringing out a book from his fav series and reading it intently. He is better at the moment.

The anxieties are skyrocket high. Hence, the colouring book is out. Filling in all shades of green.

This year, the plan is to grow up with respect to my reading and graduate from reading children’s literature to more grown-up content. I might still read a middle-grade book here and there or between 2 serious reads. I have been comfortably engrossed in the world of children’s books throughout the last 8-9 years. I discovered my own wonderland in that world where I could go smaller or bigger as and when I felt like. While I was devising my 2020 & beyond reading plan for this year, I mulled over the 5 reasons behind what kept me glued to the world of children’s literature in my latest blog post. #MondayMusings #mondayblogs #reading #books #childrensliterature #childrensbooks #raisingareader #parent #thebespectacledmother
