Art and creativity
Books are a wonderful way to introduce children to art and creative exploration. They can encourage readers to see their own potential and break down barriers to creativity by demonstrating that everyone is an artist, no matter their experience level. Many stories also highlight the power of expression and its positive effect on emotional wellbeing – something which is especially important for children who find it hard to discuss their feelings.
