READING IS ESSENTIAL TO CHILDREN’S GROWTH: SMART KIDS BOOKS PRESENTS OUR BEST CHILDREN’S BOOKs
Reading is never a trivial matter. Instead, it is an essential activity that everyone, especially children, should do. Reading aloud to a child while spending time together fosters healthy brain development and a solid parent-child relationship. Children who experience and participate in language-rich interactions gain literacy, patience, empathy, and excellent communication skills—all of which are essential for success in school and beyond (Reach Out and Read, 2024). Here at 8Letters’ Smart Kids Books, we believe that every child should have access to interesting and instructive books that encourage a lifetime love of reading. We are therefore pleased to provide our finest children’s book, which is meant to uplift, instruct, and amuse young readers.
Benefits of Reading
Events throughout their formative years lay the foundation for a child’s future. That is why exposing children to books early would help them acquire much-needed skills and development. Its benefits on children vary, but the most important ones are (BookTrust, n.d.):
- Be able to overcome difficulties (like socioeconomic difficulties).
- Develop better mental well-being, social skills, and strong relationships.
- Meet speech and language milestones and do better at school.
- Develop imagination, empathy, and creativity.

- Si Mallaki Asta Tarumpu – This book serves as a myth explaining the origin of Mt. Apo, which only a few of the people of today know. This groundbreaking children’s book, written in Bagobo Tagabawa, seeks to preserve these fading stories. Through its pages, we hope to inspire children to treasure their unique culture and identity, and to pass it on to future generations.
- Unlike usual children’s books, Si Mallaki Asta Tarumpu is a multilingual book, which helps support the development of bilingualism or multilingualism of children, which is particularly crucial for kids growing up in multilingual countries like the Philippines. This also helps increase their understanding and vocabulary by learning new languages through oral tradition-based narrative storytelling.
- Diwata and the Dinagyang Festival – Diwata and the Dinagyang Festival is about Diwata, a young and spirited Ati who loves to dance. Her family is going through hard times, and she has to stop going to school. While her family is walking through the city looking for odd jobs, she witnesses the Dinagyang Festival for the first time. This festival involves the Ati Tribe dancing on the streets to the rhythmic beat of the drum, showcasing their roots.
- The plot revolves around the lively festival known as Dinagyang Festival, which has its roots in Filipino culture. By examining this singular occurrence from the perspective of a figure such as Diwata, children are exposed to customs, principles, and beliefs from another culture. This develops a more comprehensive perspective by developing empathy and appreciation for diversity.
