Kids Book Quest (non-fiction): A Day With series


“A room without books is like a body without a soul.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Books are our constant companions.  Reading is an exercise for our mind, and we need to develop this habit in our children at an early age. 

Non-fiction for children

Reading non-fiction is as delightful as reading fiction. Most of you will agree with me.  Introducing non-fiction books to children are important because by reading non-fiction children gather a lot of information about the real world. It even improves their vocabulary. Children will enjoy reading them as well. Reading a true story, reading about science, history,  nature, etc., connects them to the real world. 

While first introducing non-fiction, try to bring books that narrate the text/story through beautiful illustrations. This will keep children engaged till the end. One non-fiction book series which I found very interesting and informative for kids is the "A Day with" series.

"A Day With" Series is published by Macawbooks. This is a non-fiction book series and is apt for 6- to 8-year olds. Each book in the series is about 24 pages, and the text is simple to understand. 

My friend suggested this book series, and I loved it. This series is about various famous scientists, sports personalities, authors, etc.  I have "A Day With - Scientist" series. 

These books are colorful, and the illustrations are beautiful and eye-catchy. These books follow a narrative form where two young children, Tim and Tyra, take us on their journey when they meet different scientists. The books are brilliantly written to provide all the important information about the scientists like where they are born, how they started their journey, how they completed their inventions, how their invention works, and their awards and achievements without boring the children. 

Although these are short books, they are very informative. My daughter enjoyed reading them, but I had to explain her some things here and there. Being a 7-year-old, she could read most of the text in these books.

Hope other children will enjoy it too.

Womanhood

Great power to all the women in the world. Values and beliefs in our society are changing rapidly. The most important one being the way women were treated in our society. One of the examples of this can be seen in the novels. The way a female protagonist was sketched earlier in the novel is far different now. Now the female protagonist is as strong as male and more. I hope these reflections of equality grow stronger, and a day will come when there is no more debate on how women should be treated equally in our society. As that day men and women will be equal. P.S. After many days felt like sketching. Though I am very bad at sketching, it makes me stressfree. This a random sketch that I tried to draw from the Pinterest, with due credit to the original artist.

Murakami World

I am not a voracious reader, but lately, I am sunk into Murakami world. Murakami oeuvre takes you in a journey of imaginations, diving you through different waves of emotions. If you can’t imagine, don’t read Murakami. According to me, if you want to thoroughly enjoy the books of Murakami then you should sail your imagination through his words. His work is addictive, captivating, and fascinating. Although all his works deal with emotions, his way of narration sometimes strikes a chill into you when you are deeply engrossed in reading. That’s the fun of reading Murakami. I have read some of his books, not all. I am hoping to read all his books in near future.
