1, "Good Quiet Book",
Pay attention and express your feelings
Contents:
How many kinds of "quiet" can you count? There are 29 kinds in this book, some of which are more familiar to us, such as "the quiet of coloring the painting", and there are also things that we are easy to ignore, such as "the quiet of the first snow falling"; there are more naughty, such as "the kind of quiet that hides and wants to scare a friend to jump", and there are also more warm, such as "the quiet of kissing before going to bed"...
The pictures that match these poetic words are quite soft and cute little animals. By showing small fragments of their daily lives, the book creates scenes that are either warm, lively, embarrassing, or afraid, and stimulate the reader's sensitivity to daily life.
Parent-child co-reading recommendation:
Because of the epidemic at home, the range of children's activities has been greatly limited. The more such times, the more you should care about your child's emotions and expressions. Through parent-child reading this book, we can communicate their feelings with our children and explore how to look at temporary difficulties with a more positive attitude and always maintain hope for life. Perhaps, we can co-create a "good freedom book" with children, believing that "freedom" has a different definition for children.

Parent-child reading recommendation:
Many parents exhaust time, money, and energy to cultivate their children's hobbies, but in the end, their children do not appreciate it, because it is not something they really like. Hobbies aren't about earning a certificate, winning a medal, or winning a grade, but about getting a way to get along better with the world. Just like during the epidemic, many people's hearts are empty, and they use their mobile phones meaninglessly every day to vent various emotions, and some people can focus on what they like to do, and they can still feel love and beauty in distress.

Eventually, they stood shoulder to shoulder and stirred up a day of unsatisfactory disappointment.
Some nonsensical expressions, Picasso-style painting style, close to the child's text, this book looks very simple, but in fact is full of life poetry, wisdom and fun.
Parent-child co-reading recommendation:
During the epidemic, life is limited, don't talk about children, even adults will have a lot of negative emotions, such as anger, fear, sadness and so on. Many people are reluctant to face such emotions and always want to escape or suppress them. Don't cry, don't make a fuss, don't get angry... Do you often say these words to your children?

This popular science book is not as serious as an ordinary popular science book, there is more cold knowledge, and the painting style is very exaggerated and funny, which is easier to attract children's attention.
Parent-child co-reading recommendation:
During the epidemic period, everyone began to grow vegetables on the balcony, including hydroponic spring onions and garlic, as well as locally cultivated potatoes, tomatoes and peppers, which is also a rather unique life experience. You may wish to take this opportunity to set up a "small position for growing vegetables" for your children at home, encourage them to learn more about the basic knowledge of plants, and take good care of these vegetables and fruits at home, I believe that they will gain a lot.

Parent-child co-reading recommendation:
Sometimes, we can't stop our children from being exposed to the topic of death, especially during the pandemic, when they may receive some relevant information. In fact, life education should include death, and we explore death in order to live better, to cherish the life in front of us more, and to cherish the ordinary beauty of this world. Take the child to call the grandparents, grandparents and grandmothers, let them have more opportunities to express their love and care for the elders, and every moment of emotional connection will become a light and heat that shines on each other.

At the end of the story, the child returns to his door and plunges into his mother's arms, and the footprints of the cat in the snow hint at the end of the reunion.
The author is very good at using pictures to narrate, and the rendering of the snow in pieces of the picture sets off the weakness of the child, but even such a weak child is still concerned about the weaker beings, and through the story you can feel the bondage and comfort between life.
Parent-child co-reading recommendation:
This is a story that is very easy to arouse empathy with children, especially children who have pets or like small animals at home. During the epidemic period, the animals in the family cannot go out, and the stray animals in the community are not taken care of, and some even have to survive alone because of the isolation of their owners. We all meet individuals who are more lonely and weak and helpless than ourselves, can we give them warm help with our love and actions? When a child offers to have a pet, can we help them realize how much of a responsibility it is? The pandemic may be a good time to think again about these issues.
