Hi everyone! In this video I show you a glimpse of the most beautiful books in our collection. These are nature based non fiction books with stunning illustrations. Living books are usually written by experts in the field, and are not only educational but also inspiring.
All the links are below, along with some articles on living books and how to find them.
I hope you are inspired to read some of these to your little ones.

I mentioned Poetry Tea time as a Charlotte Mason concept, but it was introduced by Julie Bogart of Brave Writer, and is a wonderful way to start appreciating poetry with younger children.
Some info on Poetry tea time here: bravewriter.com/program/brave-writer-lifestyle/poetry-teatimes

[@soumyagbhat]

Your book videos have been great and I have so many in our collection based on your reviews. My son absolutely loves most of them 😊 Could you talk about screen time and how you have at your home?

[@Feelgoodmama]

So great to hear that, thank you! 2020 has thrown all rules for screen time out of the window right?!

[@sooryaradhakrishnan1206]

[@Feelgoodmama]

[@akrutiparikh8241]

Hi Vidya..I love your videos, they are very insightful. Can you recommend a book of seasons for my 8 month old. He’s slowly getting comfortable with smaller images on pages. Thanks!

[@lihaanreddy2451]

Please upload more such videos.. love your content 😊

[@Feelgoodmama]

Thank you, I will!

[@Destiny51189]

Thank you for always providing us with the most useful information Vidya, you are like a sister to me who's there for me to guide me. You are a savior for me🙏🙏🙏🙏 Love you, god bless you and happy diwali to you and your family Vidya❤️❤️❤️

[@Feelgoodmama]

Always nice to see your comment, I hope you and your family are doing well, I lost the message you sent on Instagram and wanted to see how you are doing. Big hugs to you.

[@Destiny51189]

@@Feelgoodmama yeah I'm good Vidya. Trying my best to cope up with the loss but yes I'm better than before and same with my family also. Thank you so much for checking on me means a lot🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ebutuoyymsti]

Hello Vidya, many thanks for making such wonderful videos. I noticed small things which you mentioned in your videos - child being in trajectory schema or open ended play or you as a parent unknowingly setting limits in your child's mind by your actions. I really liked those things which normally we do not pay attention to if we are not careful. I wanted to ask if you can recommend few books about parenting, which parents should read, books which can help parents realize these small but important things.

[@anjanas1194]

As we hear that books open up a new world to us, ur videos also open up new ideas.. be it open ended play or living books or so.. ;) he he.. Thank you for sharing these with us

[@anjanas1194]

Btw I went thru the links of living books and poetry tea time u shared and naturally a doubt came. R u homeschooling ur son? How do u get to these amazing concepts? What are ur resources? Would u like to share that!

[@Feelgoodmama]

Thank you so much!

[@Feelgoodmama]

He does not go to school as of now, because of COVID. I am not formally homeschooling, but since he spends all his time at home I do get most of my information from homeschool moms, either through blogs or youtube/ instagram.

[@lincyp2358]

Hi Vidya, I saw all your vedios on books and love your recommendations. Can you give some details of your reading schedule for your child please

[@sriramalakshmi1330]

Your videos content is very informative especially this one. I wouldn't have known about these books if not for this video. So thank you. Always look forward for your videos. Could you suggest some simple nature books with less text to introduce to a toddler nearing 2 years.

[@Feelgoodmama]

I started with many of these at age 2-3, you'll be surprised how much they understand. For toddlers, books with real photographs are amazing, like my big book of animals. Usborne lift the flap books, National Geographic and DK also have picture books that are great. Happy reading!

[@darshanadaga5088]

Hi Vidya! I’ve recently started to follow your videos and they are all amazing.. if you could make a video about how to keep you child away from screen ??

[@KimNguyen-gj9oo]

My child is almost 2 years old ( 22 months) now. Are these book for her age ? Thank you so much for the video!!!

[@WaNgMO542]

Wonderful thank you

[@Feelgoodmama]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nehatanwar4386]

Can u please make a separate video on living books for 2 year olds

[@MrAHSAN199]

First Indian I have come across who follows Charlotte Mason's education

[@santhoshi9922]

Please do a complete play room tour along with books in detail. May be a long video

[@Feelgoodmama]

thanks for your suggestion, hopefully soon!

[@swatisingh91]

Amazing content as always..a question do you really think a Yuval Zommer big book is worth investing in??

[@Feelgoodmama]

I think they are not a definitive resource on either bugs or birds, since there are some things that are omitted. But just as a fun addition to other informative books, they are great as introductory books for 2-3 year olds.

[@Destiny51189]

Vidya I just want to know your views on Ruskin Bond's books. It's a request as I'm curious about your opinion on his books

[@Feelgoodmama]

I do want him to read them, but not until he's a little older, maybe 7-8 years

[@Destiny51189]

@@Feelgoodmama Lovely! Even I want to introduce my daughter his books but I'm confused when to do, thanks for the idea now I'll too plan when she is around 7-8 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kasinakasina3410]

Hii Vidya, can you post a video how to treat the 2months baby

[@mikkunmummaworld9895]

Hello Mam...thanx a lot for sharing such great collection...Mam we live in India...will these books be good for child residing in india also...????

[@MG-yp7tb]

Please make a part 2😘😘😘😘

[@Feelgoodmama]

You know I will, hehe ;)

[@MG-yp7tb]

@@Feelgoodmama Haha! Looking forward. Do you remember me by the way? Met you at the hyderabad meet up about 2 years ago! How I'd love for you to come down again 😘💗 Still a huge fan by the way!

[@shraddhaganjave2218]

Hey Vidya can you suggest books for 10 months old baby

[@veggieenthusiast796]

Beautiful books! I want to read them for myself lol

[@Feelgoodmama]

Hehe me too!

[@nehatanwar4386]

Hi dear, can I introduce living books to my 2 year old

[@gayathrivarrier6226]

Hi dear...Do we need to repeat the books that is been read already or should we change books frequently and read to them...?? which is more effective ??

[@Lily_and_River]

Children love repetition! They learn a lot from it aswell!

[@Feelgoodmama]

If my son is interested, he asks me to read a book multiple times, and I read it to him as many times as he wants. I don't know the "right" way to do it, but I have all the books outside for him to choose. I rotate toys, but not books.

[@rupalitaori5041]

Please do make more videos...

[@Feelgoodmama]

:) will do!

[@rupalitaori5041]

Nature Anatomy can be introduced at what age ???

[@Feelgoodmama]

You could flip through some pictures in Nature Anatomy with even a 2-3 year old, but it gets more useful as they get older.

[@sruthisileeshk.p9928]

pls do an activity video for kids my baby is 3 years old now

[@Feelgoodmama]

Will do thanks!
