Humans are empathic creatures by birth and stories emphasize this quality of ours. It also makes for a fascinating tool to teach children the power of empathy and expose their core to infinite possibilities.
Children have a separate world of their own - their own likes and dislikes - their own needs and interests. As they grow older, their needs, affections, feelings, awareness, and habits change. Therefore, the world of children's consciousness and semi-perception is completely different than that of an adult. Hence the literature through which a child's interests and fascinations are satisfied, and which is created with the power of perception in mind to satisfy the psychological needs of the child's mind, his interests, inclinations and understandings, truly deserves to be a genre of its own.
A French intellectual Paul Hazard rightly points out that: Books for children are great books which are capable to create their own feelings and impressions in children's souls. Writing books for children is a very delicate task. Children's books should have a subtle blend of moral values, spirituality, language and style.
"Taemeer Kids Classics - One Dozen stories, Part-1", the first of its collection, intends to present some fascinating stories from India and other countries.
