Are you ready for all the extra time summer brings?  Do you have a plan to scroll less and read more for yourself and your kids?  

Did you know reading might be the missing tool in the development of your family culture and the formation of your character?  Reading does these five things for us and our children:

• Forms a moral imagination
• Teaches empathy & awakens affection
• Provides an antidote to ignorance & entitlement
• Builds academic abilities
• Protects mental health

Get inspired to build the habit of reading into your family culture with the strategies Andie offers.  Here are the books she mentions in this episode: 

• American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins
• Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park
• The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michelle Richardson  
• This Tender Land by William Kent Kruger
• So Far from the Bamboo Grove & My Brother, My Sister, and I by Yoko Kawashima Watkins
