Grandfather of books...

They all call him Dada. He is a teacher in school. He is retired now. Every Sunday there is a bag on his shoulder while going for a walk. As soon as they enter the garden, the children playing there surround them, saying that the grandfather of books has come. Dada also sits on the bench taking information about their weekly activities from those children.


A bundle of books comes out from the bag, in which there are books according to the children of all ages, very well kept books. Dada first received books by everyone from last week, then those of them who have not read the book give it to them. The child who has read all the books would have given him a new book. Then write the names of their books along with the dates in the register. In this way, they are a moving library for children. They would spend a large part of the pension on this. People roaming around in the garden asked the dada, why do you share them with books?



Dada said today, this era of social media and mobile has kept children away from books. They are engaged in social media or video games. This is blocking his personality development. There is a lack of interest and concentration in studies. I am very sad to see this. That is why I have come out with this tip to arouse the interest of children in books and keep them away from mobile. Glad, because of me, the members of the moving library are growing.
