Well, this was NOT a Western Australian Children’s book, but it was an interesting book to read – an adult book called – um, I can’t say what it is called in case a child sees the title in this blog and gets it out of the library and reads it. In fact 99% of the book is fine but that 1%?

So instead, I’ll type a summary of an interesting article I read titled ‘The Benefits of Reading’.

It makes  you smarter, improves your concentration, memory and imagination. Reading makes you more interesting and it reduces boredom and depression.  Reading helps ‘create’ you. It improves your empathy and vocabulary.  It improves your writing skills… and the list goes on.

Looking at the above, I suppose I can say that Western Australian children’s book authors are healers.  Kind of.  In a sense!
