Drew Barrymore focuses on what's important

How adorable is Drew Barrymore’s little bookworm!

The gorgeous actress is currently on a beach getaway with her family, and shared this sweet snap of her eldest daughter Olive, 23-months, with the caption:

One of my favorite girls reading one of my favorite books written by one of my favorite women! #tinafeyrules #summerreading

In an interview with Us Weekly, Drew revealed that she and husband of 2 years Will Kopleman helped prepare Olive for sisterhood, by reading her books about families.

“I read her a lot of books”, Barrymore revealed. “She loves books! That’s her favourite thing the world, books.”

A love of books appears to run in the family, with Drew’s book Find It In Everything topping the New York Times bestseller list in the US.

Drew’s youngest daughter Frankie was born in April of this year, and the star posted this cute pic with her two girls on Instagram:

The star, who had a notoriously wild upbringing, spoke to ABC news about the importance of stability and education for her family.

“The best kind of parent you can be is to lead by example,” she explained.

“Whatever I’ve experienced in my life is a part of my story, and I’m proud of that. But it’s someone who wakes up early, works all day, believes in charitable work, business-minded, diligent, accountable, problem-solving . . . I’m so much about school, consistency and tradition.”

What’s the most important thing for you when it comes to your kids?

I love Drew and her girls are gorgeous.
As a parent, I believe in teaching my kids manners, respect and to think about others.

Being someone that they feel comfortable in talking to, about anything. You can have all the latest gizmos, the big house, the huge bank account but if you aren’t spending time with your children one on one you are missing out. They are amazing little wonders.

I absolutely love reading with my boy. He is 21 months and I have been reading to him every night since he was a very little baby. He loves so many books, right now his favourite is Where the Wild things are, In the Night Kitchen and Wombat stew. I cant wait to get him into bigger books like Harry Potter I love, love, love Drew Barrymore, always have, she seems like such a beautiful person.
