Greetings from Sarajevo! I would appreciate it if you could recommend me some children's books for my three-year-old son since I really trust your taste :) 

Firstly, you flirt! Secondly, absolutely. Immersing myself in early years literature has been one of the greatest joys of parenthood. Whilst a few books from my childhood have stood the test of time - Elmer, Winnie The Witch, The Tiger Who Came To Tea and my ultimate favourite, featuring a sneaker-wearing turtle, Eloise - generally speaking, the kid lit market is so much more interesting than it was in the early 90s. It’s almost as new to me as it is to my kids, which means we get to experience it together, with collective curious eyes.
