Story Time

Folk Literature 

Folk literature should be an important part of any child’s reading. These stories introduce children to the human experience. Stories common for us all. Stories about fears & challenges, hopes & dreams and about how we overcome. Through these stories, children understand what it means to belong - to a family, a community & a culture and to the world.

 

Today, we want children to appreciate that the world is their oyster and through folk literature, children appreciate the commonalities & differences among us, the importance of our past & how we have evolved. These stories ground children with a good sense of what it means to be human - in their thinking, their actions & their desires. This understanding is crucial as children grow & folk literature in all its simplicity begins the conversation with children about what it means to be human.
