Bookshelves Around the World
Kids Yoga Stories is a proud campaign partner for Read Aloud 15 Minutes, a non-profit organization that hopes to change the face of education by making fifteen minutes of daily reading aloud the new parenting standard. Reading aloud for just fifteen minutes a day can have a tremendous impact on literacy in America… and around the world!
To celebrate reading around the world, I asked my international blogging friends to send pictures of their children’s bookshelves. By peeking into these houses in various countries, we can see how integral books are to children’s lives, no matter where they live.

little reading nook where she reads to her dolls.
