It’s National Young Readers Week, so we’ve rounded up the best reads for your kids
As parents continue to transition to at-home schooling, it can be hard to limit screen time for kids. Some experts have said that too much screen time can increase the risk for children’s behavioral problems, and in some cases, even cause neck and back problems. With the holidays coming up, we’ve picked out some of the best children’s books to give your child a break from the screen.

Once Upon a World offers a new way to look at classic fairy tales.

This collection of fairy tales offers a multicultural take on the stories we all know and love. Because fairy tales are for everyone, everywhere!
#2 ‘Superheroes Are Everywhere’ by Kamala Harris

#3 ‘Who You Were Made to Be’ by Joanna Gaines
The co-founder of Magnolia is back with her second children’s book.

The book follows a group of children as they each build their own hot-air balloons.
