It is no secret that reading has several cerebral benefits for children. Be it reading as a hobby, reading for leisure or for school—it is a practice that will benefit your child in more ways than one. The biggest advantage of allowing your child some designated time with books is that books can be an educational resource; in that, they provide the child access to content and experiences that may not be part of their daily experiences. Books have the ability to transfer its readers to faraway places and introduce them to new interesting people that may not always be physically around.

Here you will find books that will take your children to magical worlds with fantastical characters, but also factual books about extraordinary people in extraordinary circumstances who have carved their own paths and changed the course of their respective fields. Also, we have (age-appropriate) books about the lesser-known places from across the world that will positively impact your child’s understanding of world geography and world issues.

Here is a treasure trove of people and places books for your child to learn and love.
