The 

Duchess of Cornwall said World Book Day “means the birth of reading” for

many children. Actually own your first book is something that you’re never going
to forget. “That first book will be there forever. And it’s hopefully going to lead
children to reading more and more, discovering different authors and different
subjects.
The Duchess also highlighted the importance of reading from a young age,
adding: "When we read, we understand ourselves better, we understand others
better and we make lifelong friends."

I believe that if children start reading from an early age they will be able to create
new interests that will help them to have more skills in their development, nowadays
children from an early age use cell phones and lose their imagination, they only
carry out the same continuous activity, instead If a child read, he would have an
imagination of what he reads, he knows new words, practices writing and discovers
feelings.

The Best Books of 2022 to Support Kids and Teens in Tough Times- When children and
teenagers see characters they relate to having human experiences just like them, it
can help them see they’re not alone. In some cases, this can be the first step on the
road to healing.
Storytelling with the purpose of healing is known as bibliotherapy. According
to 2018 researchTrusted Source, bibliotherapy was found to be significantly more
effective at reducing depression and anxiety symptoms in children and adolescents
when compared with a control. It was especially effective for adolescents with
depressive symptoms.
“Books provide a safe way to talk about challenging topics and feelings,” says Sileo.
“Even though it’s a child therapy technique, parents and caregivers can use it as
well.”
“Reading with a child is a wonderful bonding experience,” says Sileo. “When a
parent or caregiver reads with a child, they’re creating memories together.”

Books can be a rich emotional resource for kids, teens, and families.
“When children read [a] book it may validate their thoughts and feelings, provide
some type of education around the topic, and provide healthy solutions for them,”
