Hey, have you ever thought about how important books are? They can tell us so many things! Stories about people, places, things, you name it. Some books are about real things, right? We call those non-fiction books. And the ones with made-up stories? They are fiction books. There’s also this special kind of writing we call literature. It can be in books, but also in poems and plays. Literature can make us feel all sorts of things – happy, sad, excited, or even scared. It’s like a mirror into lives different from ours. And, reading books and literature is really good for us. It helps us learn new words and understand the world a bit better. You can read books anywhere – at home, at school, or at the library. Or, you can even listen to books on a computer or a phone. Reading is fun, and it’s important too. So, let’s try to read more books and literature, yeah?
