Post by Jorge Leon Salazar »

This book addresses different aspects of a child's life. It includes impressive rhymes and bright illustrations that accurately reflect each question and activity. The simple and attractive choice of words is a positive aspect. It may be enlightening for those parents who spend little time with their children due to the hustle and bustle of life and work responsibilities.

What did you do at school today?" by C.C. Lacavera is a bright children's book that asks a very important question. Seeing the direction the world is moving in and the "wokeness" in society, we need to ask our kids this question every day.

This book will be a great help to new parents as they learn how to connect with their children. I have an amazing mom who used to ask me every day what I did in school and about my friends. That habit created an unbreakable bond between us. Those daily conversations, though simple, made me feel seen, valued, and understood. Parenting is undoubtedly challenging, and I hope this book provides ideas to make the journey a little easier.

This book seems like a treasure trove for nurturing parent-child relationships! I love how it transforms the simple, often overlooked "How was school today?" into an engaging adventure filled with thoughtful questions.

'Official Review: What did you do at school today' by C. C. Lacavera has a solid introduction. It presents the attractive features of the children's book. The book tells about the so many things children do and experiment on while in school. Remarkably, it offers vast opportunities and resources for parents to have a fun conversation with their children about how their days in school went. Also, readers would come across impressive rhymes. Learning that the illustrations were very bright and correctly reflected each question and activity was great!

I am way too grown-up to find any interest in the literature intended for children, but considering the importance the subject parent-child bonding has, I can't help myself and wish to read it just to pass my own judgment about it. Great work on the reviewer's part and congratulations to the author on BOTD!

What an amazing resource this book could become to strengthen a relationship between a parent and a child. Parents are often pretty busy and may not have ideas at their fingertips to strike up meaningful and engaging conversations with their children--this is a without a doubt a solution that pays off.

'Lacavera did a great job providing fertile grounds upon which great conversations can spring up. This is mainly achieved through the short, open-ended questions.' Fertile grounds upon which great conversations can spring up sound interesting in a children's book.

This is a very interesting book. The title is captivating. It reminded me of questions I had to face during my school days. This book will help parents understand the various things that impact on their children and communicate with them in meaningful ways. Thanks for the review.
