More about the book

The author reflects on the challenge of writing for children, lamenting the lack of contemporary works that resonate like classics from the past. Emphasizing the importance of genuine childlike imagination in storytelling, the text critiques the trend of adult writers approaching children's literature with condescension. It highlights the need for authors to possess a deep understanding of a child's perspective while maintaining narrative maturity, using examples like "Alice in Wonderland" to illustrate the balance between whimsy and depth in children's literature.
