Stories play an important role in the development and growth of your kids. Reading helps with their confidence level, as well as coping with learning, language, and feelings.

But did you know that as an adult, you can also learn a lot from children's books?

Spencer and Kim center their conversation around the book, America's History: A Tuttle Twins Series of Stories, a 240-page storybook that teaches inspiring stories and powerful ideas from the nation's pasts, and helps empower kids to live their best lives today. They also talk about the values that kids can adapt from the book, as well as their top takeaways from reading it. Spencer and Kim conclude that even if it's a children's book, the Tuttle Twins series can change anyone's perspective and can give clarity about things that we probably are not clear about.
