Book Review - My Collection of Stories for children by Poornima Sivaraman

My Collection of Stories for children written by Poornima Sivaraman is a delightful collection of short, simple and lovely stories that impart life-lessons in quite a charming way. 

There are 15 stories that deal with diverse topics such as acceptance of children, the importance of lending them a helpful ear, teaching them core values and setting a good example for them not just through advice but through actions and behaviour. Although the title says that the stories are for children, I believe that adults need to read them as well to get insights into parenting and dealing effectively with children. 

The language is simple and extremely easy to understand. What I liked the most was the element of simplicity and innocence in the stories. In a chaotic world, these simple yet heartwarming stories come as a breath of fresh air, instilling positivity and hope among the readers. 

While I liked all the stories, if I had to cite favorites, those would be the stories Lessons Of Sharing and A Thrilling Trip. Each story comes with a moral of its own and makes a memorable impression. 

I would recommend this book not just to children but to adults as well, to refresh their childhood memories and to gain new insights into parenting and childhood.
