Hello beautiful person
How have you been? Hope you are safe at home.
As you know, I have been reading all the unread books in my TBR pile since the beginning of 2020. Lately, I have started to read children’s book. So far, I have already read Matilda by Roald Dahl, Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and currently reading a pocketbook, Grimm’s Fairytale Book. And I am obsessed with children’s book. They are simple, enriching and rejuvenating.
The reason why I started reading them was because I wanted to indulge in light reading for some time. But now that, I have read Matilda and Oliver Twist and a few tales from Grimm’s fairy tale, I am loving how the masters have weaved tales. I am not only enjoying reading them but also learning how to write stories and that too simply. Besides, they remind me of my childhood. It makes me feel like a child again.
I have realised that some stories are timeless, they are always relevant. No matter how old you are, diving into the world of children can be fun too. Children’s books are not just for children. Late teens and adults can read them too. Anyone can read them. It won’t be challenging for you as it would be for children. But it will definitely refresh you and teach you a lesson or two.
Today, dust your bookshelf, pick up on old books from your childhood. Read a children’s book and let your heart sink in it. Do you enjoy reading children’s books? When was the last time you read one?
I am excited to hear from you. Tell me what you are reading currently in the comment section.
Leaving with a quote as my ritual.
“I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather.”
