Books families can read together while self-quarantining due to coronavirus

If you are someone who has a very busy work routine with barely any time to idle around, then the self-quarantining phase of the global coronavirus is going to force you to think out of the box to survive the four to six weeks you will be spending indoors.

Some parents and children alike are having a difficult time dealing with staying at home and may be running out of things to do. Read a book together as a family to while away time.

 Start a family book club if there isn’t any already. Take turns to read chapters that will send you and your children’s imagination on journeys and trips we all cannot afford to take now in this trying times.

Be rest assured though because all over the world, public health officials are racing to contain the coronavirus outbreak and we are so much aware that children are really going through a scary time as coronavirus has the world on edge, and bringing everything to a near standstill.

Here are a few books your family can read together as you self-isolate against the deadly Covid-19 pandemic.
