    CHILDREN’S LITERATURE

    - Body of written works and accompanying illustrations produced in order to


    entertain or instruct young people. The genre encompassess a wide range of
    works, including acknowledged classics of world literature, picture books and
    easy to read stories written exclusively for children, and fairy tales, lullabies,
    fables, folk song and other primarily orally transmitted materials. (Britannica)
    - Children's literature is basically all the stories, poems, and songs created for
    young people. It includes everything from the classic fairy tales you know to
    funny picture books and even longer novels for teenagers. It's all about
    entertaining and teaching young minds!

    The following are some of the purpose and value of children's literature
    and its studies for child development and education:

    1. Children's literature provides encounters with the world that shape the
    meaning children make of the world (Kiefer, Hepler, Hickman, Huck, 2007). .
    2. Having a vicarious or "lived through" experience with literature, builds readers'
    aesthetic responses and perceptions (Rosenblatt, 1978).
    3. Reading literature increases one's sensitivity to the power of the written word
    (Sipe, 2008) and contributes to visual expression (Brenner, 2011; Sipe, 2011).

    4. it gives students appreciation about their own cultural heritage as well as those
    of others;(Norton, 2010)
    5. It helps students develop emotional intelligence. Stories have the power to
    promote emotional and moral development. Children's literature "contains
    numerous moments of crisis, when characters make moral decisions and
    contemplate the reasons for their decisions," an important skill for children to see
    modeled (Norton, 2010)
    6. Children's literature is of value because it is a timeless tradition, one in which
    "books are the major means of transmitting our literary heritage from one
    generation to the next" (Narton, 2010,)

    Here's an explanation of each point in simple terms:

    1. Stories help kids understand the world: Reading books exposes children to
    different experiences and situations, helping them make sense of their own
    world.
    2. Reading puts you in the story: When you read a book, it's like living through
    the experiences of the characters. This builds your appreciation for how stories
    are written and how they make you feel.
    3. Reading makes you a better reader and writer: The more you read, the more
    comfortable you become with language and the power of words. This can help
    you write better and express yourself more creatively.
    4. Books teach you about different cultures: Reading stories from different
    cultures helps you appreciate your own heritage and understand how others live.
    5. Books can help you with your feelings: Stories often deal with emotions and
    difficult choices. Seeing characters navigate these situations can help you learn
    how to manage your own emotions and make good decisions.
    6. Books connect us through time: Stories have been a way of sharing ideas and
    traditions for generations. Reading connects you to the past and helps keep
    those stories alive.
