Divya Choudary
When you come across children’s literature, if it is only stories that you see, you need to observe more keenly. Children’s literature is a powerful medium that can help in the emotional and psychological development of the child. These stories can become places where we find answers to questions we are afraid to ask, a friend who listens to us without judging , and meet people who are living similar lives as us. Children’s literature is not only for children, but for all of us who want to learn and grow.
