Ammachi glasses is a wordless picture book ... By Priya . It's my first ever book which took me less than 2 minutes to complete 🤭. This book literally good for kids to make them understand about little- little emotions. Must say ....Priya illustration is so beautiful like adding that minute detailings in the book....make it more attractive and eye catchy. Overall it's a good picture book. I am amazed like i am 25 year old still love to read more such books than adult reads 🤭. My inner soul is still a little kid .
