I have a real little bookworm on my hands and she is quite discerning. These are some of the books that she loves. We try to keep a mix of educational books and entertainment (stories) books. I will update this list as she discovers more books that she loves.

Taking my daughter to Dubai for a 2-week vacation was one of the highlights of 2025. I used to live there for most of my life and it was great revisiting places i had been to before with her. We both had a wonderful time with plenty of fun and relaxation, too. Dubai is the safest place I've ever been to and that's a huge factor in deciding where to take a trip with my little one. It's also very clean and the people are English speaking and friendly. Transport is fairly easy with a metro system, bus system, thousands of clean and safe taxis and Ubers. The two weeks flew by too soon and we can't wait to go back there!
