12 Instagram Captions For Photos Of Your Tiny Bookworms Reading
Reading is an absolute passion in my home. As a former English major married to a total book nerd, the written word is essential to our family. We started reading to our children before they were even born, and now that they're 8 and 11, they can often be found up reading past their bedtime. Needless to say, I'm going to post pictures to Instagram, because I live for that sort of cuteness. I know I'm not the only one, so if you need some inspo, here are 12 Instagram captions for pictures of your kids reading.
It can be a real drag to think of new and fun things to say on Instagram every time you take a picture. You want something cute or sweet, but at the same time you just want to post the freaking pic and move on with your day. With things like reading, you might have a hard time whittling down the choices. I mean, you're no LeVar Burton, but books are life, and how cute is that series of pictures you just took? Whether you're staging a picture of your 2-year-old reading a Russian classic from Chekov or a selfie of the two of you reading some Seuss for the 40th time, there's the perfect caption for any occasion. If you can't think of one, look no further.

"When you're much older, and you can't remember these days, I'll pull out this picture to show you how you lit up with joy in each other's presence. How something so simple as sharing a funny book would light your eyes, and fill your hearts. I will remember, and I will tell you all about how your sister asked you to reread the silly parts, and how you made voices and peeked over to make sure she was laughing. I'll remember, and I'll tell you."

"Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book? It took me years to write, will you take a look? It’s based on a novel by a man named Lear, And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer." — Paul McCartney and John Lennon, "Paperback Writer"

12Reading On A Hot Day
It's roughly 14 gajillion degrees in New York City today, so reading in front of the AC is a respite from the sweltering heat. On days like this, there are few things easier to do than kick back in someone else's world.
"Too hot to play outside is just right for reading in front of a fan." #longdayslongerbooks
