As described by the American Academy of Pediatrics, reading aloud to children beginning in infancy enhances early literacy skills, improves school readiness, and strengthens the relationship between parents and children during this critical time in a developing brain. Dr. Unger also wrote this book to share what she learned from her family growing up, and what she learned while raising her own children.
