Growing up was an interesting phase of life as it was a phase everything was handed to us with fewer worries
Childhood happens to be one stage of humanity that comes with pure happiness and less worry
It was one period in our lives that all that was needed was just obedience to parents and with that, you get access to good things promised.
Stories told by elder one and parents gave childhood interesting memories I'm sure we all had the opportunity to listen to stories and just create the image right in our heads.
it is one sweet phase of life
part of the things that made up childhood back then was staring out the window when the rain will pour, running underneath the sun, feeling the rush air while on your bike, and reading books that keeps us awake just to bring up stories of our own from the pictures.
It was a pure and happy memory back then.
Some books will be evergreen in our memories and whenever they are remembered they just bring back childhood memories.
Part of these books are
MY BOOK OF BIBLE STORY
One thing I got familiar with as a kid was to be familiar with the Bible and one very book that got our attention was the book of Bible story because of the pictures, and so reading this book became easy and interesting at the same time because it has pictures to illustrate every story.
My book of Bible stories comprises stories from the Bible. It talked about how the earth was created and so many stories from the Bible.
The book gives more ideas on what the Bible is all about with simple language and pictures to capture young ones attention.
I remember back then reading this book or having a copy is something to brag on
It is one book that shaped my childhood and kept me awake.
MOREMI THE COURAGEOUS QUEEN
One other book that helped me with history as a kid was Moremi the courageous queen by Segun Thomas Ajayi
The book talked about a legendary Yoruba queen who assisted in setting the Yoruba kingdom of ife free of the neighbor ugbo captives.
Queen Moremi puts her life on the line and refused to join the cowards.
she was captured as a slave to their enemy kingdom and because of her beauty she was married to the ruler after some time being married, she uncover their secret and escaped to ife to tell her people about the enemy's secret which led to the victory of ife kingdom over ugbo.
The book was written based on a true-life story of the Ife kingdom and coming as a storybook became part of my favorite book as childhood.
IFEANYI AND OBI
One book that taught me morals as a kid was this book.
it is a book about ifeanyi and obi two friends
where consequences of disobedience drove Ifeanyi to the forest and he got lost but all because of his politeness, respect and humility he got favored by an old strange woman who in turn blessed him with gifts that brought wealth to his family.
seeing this
Envy and covetousness drove obi's mother to send her son obi to the same forest to acquire gifts and wealth but because obi was not humble and lack polite etiquette he was unable to cope and instead brought wrath from the old woman and was sent home without gifts
Charitas onwu otuyelu the writer of this book helped with teaching morals with this book. I remember back then we always respect every old one just because of what respect got Ifeanyi and lack of respect got obi.
A lot of books made my childhood but these made it to my favorite list of books.
writing this post and I began to wonder how childhood would have been without these books
These books taught me history, morals and the Bible in a simple way I'm glad I had the opportunity to read them all.
