The best of English classic kids’ books

This is with reference to the cover story “The best of English classic kids’ books” by Omair Alavi (YW, August 5).

Reading isn’t only something we do, but it also makes our lives happier and more peaceful.

The writer beautifully shed light on different books for kids of various genres. I came to know about many other books which I have never read before, such as Aesop’s fables, The Chronicles of Narina, etc. The small description of these books was helpful for many kids like me, as we could understand them better and choose which ones to read accordingly.

A tale of redemption

This is regarding the story “A tale of redemption” by Saleha Rizwan (YW, August 19). The story discussed two significant social issues: greed and selfishness.

These harmful traits can wreck a society by causing misunderstandings among its members. Creating misunderstandings is among the worst things one can do, as it can shatter relationships.

Additionally, this behaviour can lead to negative outcomes, much like what happened to the mouse in the story. So, it’s important not to let greed and selfishness guide your actions. By avoiding these traits, you can become a respected individual in society.

Navigating in a new school

This is regarding the story “Navigating in a new school” by Rameen Imtiaz Kaka (YW, August 19). The story touched my heart, as I’ve been through a similar situation.

Leaving your old school and friends behind and then fitting in a new place with all new faces can be really tough.

It takes time, but staying patient and gradually getting to know the people around you can help you make wonderful friends in no time.

A fantastic start to a brand-new year

This is regarding the cover article “A fantastic start to a brand-new year” by Benazir Raz (YW, August 19). The article was productive and enjoyable; it resonated deeply with my university experience.

Its insights, though tailored for school students, proved invaluable for higher education contexts. The emphasis on small changes making a significant impact is commendable.
