( ) A nice essay on reading...and in particular children's books during stressful times. The author points out that reading a beloved book as an adult often gives you an entirely different perspective. Children's books also don't shy away from heavy subject matter. Instead they offer imagination and heroic optimism. Quite a few quotes from the previous reader, so I won't add anything except that this is a small book with a lot of nuggets of knowledge. This will head out again in the bookish bookbox. 3.5 Stars I think the sentiments in this book are best summed up by this quote: "Children's fiction does something else too: it offers to help us refind things we may not even know we have lost. Adult life is full of forgetting; I have forgotten most of the people I have ever met; I've forgotten most of the books I've read, even the ones that changed me forever; I've forgotten most of my epiphanies. And I've forgotten, at various time in my life, how to read: how to lay aside scepticism and fashion and trust myself to a book. At the risk of sounding like a mad optimist: children's fiction can reteach you how to read with an open heart. When you read children's books, you are given the space to read again as a child: to find your way back, back to the time when discoveries came daily and the world was colossal, before your imagination was trimmed and neatened, as if it were an optional extra" Nuff said. Why You Should Read Children’s Books, Even Though You Are So Old and Wise. Katherine Rundell. 2019. This is a beautiful essay on the value and joys of reading children’s books and on the necessity of libraries. Anyone who loves books, reading and libraries will appreciate this book. It is one to keep! Read this glowing essay to leap out of your jaded adult self and renew your love of wonder, hope, and the hunger for goodness that is clarified in children's literature. I would add, also, to read not only old favorites from childhood, but to dive into the many new authors and titles being published, especially those with multicultural themes and characters. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Katherine Rundell explores how children's books ignite, and can re-ignite, the imagination; how children's fiction, with its unabashed emotion and playfulness, can awaken old hungers and create new perspectives on the world. This delightful and persuasive essay is for adult readers. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
