The Difference between the Impressions as a Child and Now: after Reading Lindgren’s Books

I think that we all have favorite books from childhood. In my case, I loved the books “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak and “The Rainy Bookstore” by Rieko Hinata. As children, many of us have a strong longing for fantastic worlds and unusual adventures.
Picture books and children’s literature are among the easiest tools to immerse oneself in such worldviews. These books provide an opportunity for children to enjoy dreamlike adventures away from the real world.
Some of these books allow them to openly enjoy the stories with the pure perspective that only a child can have, and when they read these books again after growing up, they will discover deeper messages and themes that they did not notice as a child. By reading them as adults, we can be exposed to the lessons and life truths hidden in the stories and be touched and moved in other ways than we were as children. These books provide a valuable reading experience that is not only entertaining but also offers new perspectives on various aspects of life.
