Bookworm

I am books lover, however, I never force my daughter to love books; I simply open the road for her. Since she was a toddler, I have been surrounding her with books. Put all the books in certain accessible places that will tickle her natural curiosity. Tell her stories before going to bed. Make her used seeing me reading books. Give books as gifts. Provide her with her own bookcase. Bring her to bookstore. Let her see all the pages and always be there to answer whatever questions she might have. Always talk about the books she already saw or read.

Now my daughter has her own mini library. Like other kids, she always love to run here and there but often I found her sitting quietly looking through her books, doing things with those books or recently, read out loud the content. One day, she announced that human has two brains; right one and left one; art and logic. I glanced the book in her hand: the science comic “Why? The Human Body” by Park, Yong-Ha, Heo, Soon- Bong, and Song, Heo-Seok.

This doesn’t make my 6-year-old bunny a genius. This doesn’t make her number 1 in her class at school. This doesn’t make her able to do her homework without guidance or pass all examination with flying color. No. But what I’m pretty sure of is her pictures of the world are definitely got widen… through books. And the most important thing for me is our mother-and-daughter’s communication is growing as we share so many things from the books, our deep close feeling is strengthen every time she lean on me while I read her stories, and my pride as a mother witnessing her growth as she read me stories!
