Features: "Growing Up with Me" is a series of reading books launched by Jiangsu Children's Publishing House following their "I'm Great" picture books for young children. It targets children aged 5-10, focusing on cultivating their reading interest and skills. This is a newly created picture book series crafted by renowned authors, featuring nine heartfelt, humorous, and engaging stories written by nine famous writers including Jin Bo, Cao Wenxuan, Qin Wenjun, Zhang Luozhi, Chen Danyan, and Gao Hongbo. Each book is hand-drawn by a different artist, and nine children actively participate as "reader advocates." The series is divided into three tiers based on readers' cognitive abilities and age: first, helping children transition from kindergarten to primary school reading; second, cultivating their literary appreciation skills; and third, enhancing their reading aesthetic abilities, providing essential supplementary teaching for literary appreciation and writing.
Have you read the "I'm Great" series? It's hailed by mothers as a premium original series. If "I'm Great" is a cultural feast for young children, then "I'm Here" is its continuation. It's written for children over 5 years old, with each book being a wonderful story. The reviews by "young readers" for each book are very interesting. The world of childhood is so magical, and each book includes a parent-child reading section, allowing every reader to experience the joy of reading with parents and children. The final section features a pre-reading guide by Dr. Bian Xia, a preschool education expert. She uses exceptionally beautiful and philosophical language to take every reader—whether adult or child—into a magical literary world, just as each book begins: "A wonderful life starts with joyful reading!"
What changes occur in a child's thoughts, emotions, psychology, understanding, and sensitivity as they transition from kindergarten to primary school? How can parents and teachers help and guide them to smoothly and happily navigate this specific life turning point?
"Growing Up with Me" consists of nine books, each a beautiful and moving story, written by beloved children's literature authors for young readers such as Huang Beijia, Qin Wenjun, Mei Zihan, Cao Wenxuan, Zhang Luozhi, and Gao Hongbo. Nine renowned domestic children's painters with diverse styles were invited to accompany these stories with exquisite illustrations, making the entire series visually appealing and engaging. It attempts to find a path to solve the reading challenges of the kindergarten-to-primary school transition through both language and visuals.
The most creative aspect is that before publication, each story was paired with an adorable child as a "reader." After reading, these children shared their thoughts with the story's authors—those great writers—and asked some witty questions, creating a joyful dialogue and exchange between "young readers" and "great writers."
