<strong>In this salon, best-selling children's books author <a href="https://twitter.com/mulenga_a">K.A. Mulenga</a> leads a discussion on children's books with life lessons.</strong>

Not all children's books these days teach a life lesson or have a life lesson attached to them.

In this day and age, can children learn from books or is everything centred around gadgets, devices, and apps, etc.?

Are children's books based on values and life lessons a thing of the past?

Can these types of books assist parents, teachers and other care givers?
