“ Why Sharing Stories with Kids Matters More Than Ever”

Close your eyes for a second and think back to your childhood.

Can you remember the sound of someone reading to you? The soft rustle of turning pages?The way the words lifted off the page and painted entire worlds in your imagination?

Now, imagine giving that same gift to a child today. That’s what happens when we share books—real, beautiful, laughter-filled, heartwarming books—with the little ones in our lives.

Why Books Matter More Than Ever

In a world of fast-paced content, fleeting social media, and constant noise, books offer children something scarce: a moment of stillness, connection, and magic.

They foster curiosity.They build empathy. They encourage imagination. And most importantly, they create lasting memories between kids and the adults who love them.

Reading together isn’t just an activity.It’s a bonding ritual, a bedtime tradition, and for many kids, it’s the moment they feel most seen, most heard, and most loved.

The Power of One Story

One story can inspire a child to be brave.One story can show them they’re not alone.One story can make them laugh when they’ve had a tough day.

At Liv McLean Books, we believe in the power of that one story.

Whether it’s:

• Tommy and the Broken Window teach accountability with a wink of humour,

• Barrel Racer Hazel is racing toward her dreams with grit and determination,

• Or Finnie Minnie Meow sharing love, kindness, and family warmth— learning to deal with autism in the family.

Each book is carefully crafted with heart and a touch of magic to help children see themselves, laugh, learn, and grow.
