The Childhood Many Should Have

Everyone has read a book or heard about a story in their life. Some grow to like reading, some drift away from it. Choosing to read books will benefit one’s life in vocabulary, comprehension, and many more. Any book will do, as long as you continue reading, you will be able to learn more and more.

I read a blog post about children’s books and it was very helpful in understanding how useful reading was in life. The post wrote that “the more you read, the more you know; and the more you know, the smarter you grow.” This is true in many ways. Reading non-fiction books will let you learn more about life and what happens in certain times. Reading fictional books allow you to build up your creativity and have your mind wander. Both fictional and non-fictional books let you learn about understanding plot and learn new words. Reading will be able to help you develop your brain a lot!

As a child, many were read to and had books they needed to read. When I was young, there was one particular book that I loved and wish everyone to know it, The Rainbow Fish.

This book is quite popular, but not everyone knows or remembers it. The Rainbow Fish was a children’s book that I remembered the most and it taught me a big lesson. The message of the book was to never be selfish and the best way to treat someone is to give to others. Giving could mean anything such as kindness, loyalty, or even gifts but, as long as you give something to others you’ll receive the same back.

At the beginning of the book, Rainbow Fish did not want to give away anything so he was lonely, but once he learned to give up some things, he was able to make friends and learn what real happiness meant. I want others to learn that happiness comes in many factors and that too much pride won’t be beneficial in the long run and it would hurt others instead.

As you can see, even the simplest books, like children’s books, can portray strong messages for others to learn. Like the blog post mentioned in the beginning of my own post, reading will help everyone. Reading in any difficulty can cause people to develop their brains more and become brighter people; therefore, you should pick up a book at the closest a store and read a book or two!
