1. War and love
Recently, I read several award-winning novels in the "I Love to Read" series published by CITIC Group, and the protagonists of the novels are all eleven- and twelve-year-old teenagers, who live in difficulties and often need to go through ups and downs to finally realize their wishes. The process of overcoming difficulties fully demonstrates the wisdom and enthusiasm of the teenagers, and at the same time, these stories also bring me a lot of new thinking.
War is very brutal, bullets do not grow eyes. One child after another, standing up in the ruins, they did not choose to complain at the first time, they were just running continuously, looking for "love".
Supplies are scarce, people are indifferent, and children don't need much. Food can make a person's physical body live, and "love" is the most important core to nourish the child's spirit.
2. "The Voyage of the Sparrowhawk"
Natasha Farrant, she is a British writer. For many years, she has been engaged in the creation of content related to children's themes. "Children on the Rock Fort" is her masterpiece. In addition, I would like to introduce you to another book today, which is called "The Voyage of the Sparrowhawk".
The protagonists of this voyage are a girl named Lottie and a boy named Ben. Both of them have a miserable life, one parent has died, the family wealth is controlled by uncles and aunts, and they lack freedom. One grew up in an orphanage, and his adoptive father died in the war, and only one older brother, Sam, disappeared.
Luckily, they met each other, and each of them carried a cute dog. They both had the people they wanted to find, the Sparrowhawk was their stronghold, and as soon as it hit it off, the two decided to fly the Sparrowhawk to France. There, there will be Lottie's grandmother, and there, there will be Ben's brother.
A young woman with red hair named Clara, who became a teacher of two children, later, also pursued all the way, found them, accompanied them at the same time, but also harvested their own happiness. During the voyage of the Sparrowhawk, she met many enthusiastic people, especially Frank, who was such a cute guy.
I found that Natasha Farrant, she is really good at looking at things from the perspective of a child, and the whole novel is very much in line with the psychological cognitive characteristics of children of this age. In the face of disaster, they have their own courage. It is their persistent spirit that has infected many well-meaning friends.
3. Sail all the way, friendship
Friends, this relationship is special. Speaking of which, it seems that everyone will have it, but in fact, there are not many people who can really work together. And our children, they can make friends who are suitable for themselves through their own personalities, which is a very happy thing for us.
By reading Natasha Farrant's novels, we can get to know children better. In the course of the children's adventures, we also witnessed their precious growth.
Nothing is more important than "love". In order to seek the "love" and security in their hearts, the children have braved thorns all the way from Britain to France, and finally have a return. Lottie could stay with her grandmother and stay in France to grow up better. And Ben and Sam, they can also go back to where they once lived, Lottie's home will be their new meeting point, these children are growing, they are eager to be educated, they also want to make life better.
In this way, we can also be more confident that our children, who have the strength to find their own direction, will be fine as long as we love them well.
