3 Children's Books
Every Adult Should Reread
Veronica Hunt
Through the books, we get a better understanding not only
of other people's sentiments
but of our own as well. I believe that among all the
books, those that are written for children
give us the deepest insights into our own feelings.
I'd like to point out three initially children's books
that helped me deal with my adult experiences.
Dear Mr. Henshaw
by Beverly Cleary
This book is a fourth-grade reading and its plot can be
outlined in a couple of sentences.
The narrator is Leigh Bott. He is a six-grader and in the
letters to his favorite writer,
he tells about his multiple life troubles. His parents
are divorced and he has to get used to
a new place and a new school. He is wondering whether his
father cares for him,
whether his mother still loves the father, and why they
all cannot get back together.
He dreams to become a writer but doesn't know where to
start. Meanwhile, he doesn't have
any friends to share his feelings with, so he has to deal
with all the troubles by himself.
Have you ever failed to understand others?
Have you ever been disappointed by the dearest people?
Felt lonely? Felt angry and helpless?
I believe all people have. That is why Leigh's problems
and worries are well clear to every grown-up. This story makes you feel
inspired and full of hope:
if the kid has managed his troubles and has found a
balance, you'll be able as well.
To Kill a
Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I won't write up a To Kill a Mockingbird plot summary
since this book needs no introduction.
Yet, if you want to recall its plot and main ideas but
don't have time to read the full story,
you can appeal to a To Kill A Mockingbird study guide.
The book is one of the most acclaimed
and influential samples of the modern American
literature. And I personally know
at least two lawyers who pursued their career to be alike
Atticus Finch.
For me, it's above all a monument of tolerance to others.
Throughout the story,
the main character and a narrator Scout Finch learns how
to be lenient
and respectful to other people. Even though, not all of
the people deserve it.
Even 15 years after the first reading of this book, it
still teaches me to accept people
the way they are. Since, all in all, there's just one
kind of folks. Folks.
Out Of The Dust by
Karen Hesse
It's the youngest book in the list, written by Karen
Hesse. It is a diary that reveals us the joys
and pains of 14-years-old girl Billie Jo. The girl has
gone through one of the worst possible things
- by accident, she
causes a death of her pregnant mother. After some time Billie
tries to find her way to consolation and to rebuild
relationships with her father.
In the novel, the dust symbolizes a suppressing sorrow
but ultimately, the girl finds her way out of it.
I believe this book has a therapeutic effect. A reader
goes through the way with a protagonist.
From the unbearable tragedy and guilt to a solace and
self-acceptance.
It also reminds us that there is always something in life
that is worth moving on.
Summing up
All these books teach us the fundamentals of acceptance.
Dear Mr. Henshaw shows how to accept our failures.
To Kill a Mockingbird proves the importance of tolerating
other people.
Out of the Dust helps us to accept ourselves.
Moreover, the authors' vital ideas sound even more
convincing
as they are expressed through a child's voice. So if you
have any troubling feelings
similar to the ones described in these books, don't spare
time to reread them.
