The most beautiful sound in the world is the sound of a mother reading a book for her child

You may have unlimited wealth, boxes of jewelry and chests of gold, but you will never be richer than I am— because I have a mother who reads to me.

—Jim Trilis, "The Reading Handbook"

When I usually give parents children's reading planning guidance, parents often tell me that their children do not talk much when they are two years old, what should they do.

In the face of such a problem, I will generally tell that if the child does not have any physical or physiological problems, then it is very likely that the main companion and the child express too little, and the child enters too little vocabulary or information. It will be more recommended that parents start from two aspects: first, read more catchy and rhythmic nursery rhymes to their children; second, chat with children more, use the gentle state to inspire questions about their children's daily life, if you eat and sleep, learn to listen to some problems related to his life.

Therefore, in the process of raising children, it is the process of parents and children growing together, because after the children become adults, children can learn on their own and master some things that we may not have mastered, whether it is knowledge or some of the energy that helps inner growth. When the child is young, the child is more to absorb the things given by the parents, from the expression of vocabulary to the inner sense of security, warm love, etc., are given by the parents, which is a solid foundation that can support the healthy growth of the child in the future.

Among children's reading, reading nursery rhymes is a type of reading book that needs to account for a large proportion.

Also in the future, some of the text content that children remember most deeply, such as: "Shake Ah Shake", "Little White Rabbit White and White", "Little Swallow", etc., I think there should be no one who will not hum a few songs.

Recently, I often read a collection of young children's poems created by two Korean mothers - "Love You, Love You, My Baby"

This collection of poems is one of the works launched by guangxi normal university press magic elephant picture book kingdom. The author is [Han] Wen Huizhen, the painter is [Han] Susie Lee, and the translator is Xue Zhou

First of all, these creators, authors and painters each have two children, they are very familiar with the daily life of children, and they all love children in their daily care. In the professional field, they are even more unaware of how many mothers they have rolled in.

Moon Hye is a well-known Korean children's book author and poet. In 2007, he won the Kim So-woo Literature Award, Korea's highest literary award, for his work "Black Leopard Woman". Representative works include "Detective Investigation Team", "Old Tom's Difficult Years" series, "Savage Paradise", "Help! There are attacks on cookies! etc.

And Susie Lee, not to mention, I'm a die-hard fan of hers. She is a famous Korean picture book writer and was born in Seoul. Winner of the 2009 Collaborative Children's Book Center Choice Award, The New York Times Best Picture Book of the Year, and shortlisted for the 2016 Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration Short List. Representative works include "Shadow", "Blackbird", and magic elephant's published "Hula, Painting!" "Zoo", "Xiaojiang", "Open the Door" and so on. I've read almost every picture book of hers, and each one gives me a stunning feeling.

Xue Zhou is a translator and children's book writer, whose ancestral home is Juxian County, Shandong, graduated from Luoyang Foreign Chinese College, won the 8th Korean Literature Translation Award, and his original works include "The Adventures of Panda Pretty", "Chinese History While Walking", "The Secret of Food", "Stories of Chinese Sages - Yan Zhenqing" and so on.

This powerful resume gives us a curiosity about what kind of poems they write for young children. And when we pick up books to read to our children, we will feel that such warmth is real and close to life.

Soft, soft

Mom's breasts love baby

Gently pat, slowly pat

Mom's hands love babies

Sudden, throbbing

Mom's arms love baby

Throbbing, abrupt

Love you, love you, love you

Reading this book contains 24 children's poems including "Love You, Love You, Love You", "Great" and "Not Afraid at All", which makes me feel that the author really grasps the interest code of young children.

Text: Because during the period of childhood language development, their favorite is some onomatopoeia, and almost every poem in this book has onomatopoeia, a large number of this, throbbing, abrupt, rumbling, whistling, whistling, purring, purring... It will definitely arouse the interest of the child greatly.

In terms of painting: Susie Lee is a magical painter whose grasp of color has reached the point of being fascinating (forgive me, this is a confession from a fan). In her former works, she will use different colors to express different emotions, such as "This Beautiful Day", at the beginning of the black and white represents the dull, and then the gradient color is little by little with the child's mood, the color is gorgeous, the child is playing happily and freely; for example, "Xiao Jiang" She also used black and white at the beginning in order to express Xiao Jiang's loneliness and pity, and people were very depressed to see it, and wanted to save the puppy Xiao Jiang. And in this "Love You, Love You, My Baby" as an illustration, Susie Lee obviously, in addition to love, happiness, freedom, humor, etc., any bad emotions do not want to express. So, her paintings are brightly colored and warm from beginning to end. And in order to fit children, it will use a lot of colors in a painting to draw, which looks very lively.

When we hold such a book to read to children, catchy but full of life fun children's poems, can arouse children's interest, but also let children with strong memory follow the singing and reading, and feel the joy of reading with their mothers. At the same time, each illustration can also make children feel the flow of love between parents and babies.

Someone once asked: How old can children read poetry? How old can children write poetry?

And I said that from an early age he could read poetry, and any child could "write" his own poems.

For life is poetry, and every child is a poet.
