22) The ABCs of Baby Books: Choosing the Right Literature for Every Age with Elizabeth Goode

Reading to your child is one of the simplest yet most profound acts of parenting, but where do you start when the board book aisle feels overwhelming? To celebrate De Nationale Voorleesdagen , we sit down with award-winning librarian Elizabeth Goode to take a warm, honest, and direct look at the world of baby literature.

Elizabeth breaks down the specific types of books that best serve our "little literature babes" at every developmental stage, from newborns to school-aged children. We discuss the shocking "One Million Word Gap" and why reading just a few books a day can fundamentally change your child's academic future. Whether you are a bookworm yourself or struggling to make storytime a habit, this episode offers practical advice on what to look for in a picture book and how to make "reading is reading" your new family mantra. Join us for expert recommendations and the inspiration you need to open a book today.



Some of the suggestions Elizabeth spoke about are below:
