“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”
– Franklin D. Roosevelt, Great Speeches
The future is not certain. We do not have much control over it. We can only do a few things to shape the future as per our ideals. What we can do is bring up our children in such a way that they will be ready for anything that life throws at them. For that, we need to bestow them with life lessons and ethical values. What better way to do that than to introduce our little ones to the majestic world of books?
It is undeniable that times have changed now. Our children are constantly dealing with the never-ending lure of academic pressure, video games, and social media. They, seldom have the time or the interest to enmesh themselves in a good book. As adults, it is up to us to introduce them to reading. However, it is difficult to find a read that can hold your little ones’ attention for long.
Fret not, I am here with some surefire reads that will keep your children hooked. Let us have a look at some award-winning children’s books that you can gift your little ones.

I’m so thrilled my grandchildren all grew up loving literature in all it’s wonderful forms. We are so blessed to have libraries in our community, rich in variety and choice. I don’t think people appreciate them as much as they should, they are a powerful blessing.
It’s truly heartwarming to hear how your grandchildren have embraced literature with such enthusiasm. Indeed, libraries are invaluable treasures in our communities, offering a rich source of stories, knowledge, and exploration for all ages. Their role in fostering a love for reading and learning cannot be overstated.
You’re absolutely right that libraries are often underappreciated. They serve as hubs of education, imagination, and connection, providing access to resources that can inspire and enrich lives in countless ways. In a world where information is increasingly digital, libraries remain steadfast in their mission to provide equitable access to literature and information for everyone.
Your appreciation for libraries is a testament to their enduring importance. They truly are a powerful blessing, nurturing generations of readers and thinkers.
Well said. I appreciate and share these thoughts.
