The best children's books with Daria Nevskaya

19.5.2020

In this video, I'm talking about great children's books that help children understand themselves and adults. The video focuses on the topic of an adult's responsibility for someone else's child who needs support or help.


In my video, I present the Samokat series “The Savior and Son” by contemporary French writer Marie-Aude Muray, author of more than 80 novels for children and teenagers, including the novels Miss Cherity and Smart Man. In my video, I mention the book “I Keep Your Letters Under My Mattress: Correspondence 1971-2002” (Belaya Vorona Publishing House). This is a correspondence between Sarah Shward and children's writer Astrid Lindgren, which lasted intermittently from 1971 to 2002. The Book of All Things by Guus Keier (Samokat Publishing House) is another important book that allows us to understand what happens to the psyche of children who experience domestic violence.


Talking about these wonderful books for children and teenagers, I emphasize how important it is for a child to meet an intelligent and compassionate adult who can support them in situations of loneliness, fear and abandonment. In many good children's books, an alien adult appears who essentially saves a child by lending him a helping hand during difficult moments in life. The main thing is for the child to be able to ask for help.


I'll name a few more books where caring adults who have played an important role in children's lives meet: David Mitchell's Random House, Annette Huising's How I Accidentally Wrote a Book (The White Crow), Dina Sabitova's Where There's No Winter (Scooter), Holly Sloane I'm Counting Seven (Career Press”). All these books have the theme of a “magic assistant”, but this is not a fairy tale, and the magic lies in the fact that an attentive adult simply supports someone else's child.
