One of the most encouraging thing for me is when hunting books for kids @lebahbooks at #TamanBacaanAnakLebah. Home office was so excited because the night I Kwitang to look for various books to be donated to children in Ambon @ GunungMimpi; the children in the Fragrant – scented, Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi; four children in the early childhood school in East Lombok; and children in Bula, Ceram
This is my first time to Kwitang. I’ve Often heard that there are new books worth slant, including for children . But the new was now deh ya there. 19.00 This area is quite deserted, fortunately there is a large store owned several booksellers who still open.
The search process run exciting book. Some of the father with the spirit of serving the search of various readings. Very swiftly! Nothing feels out of five is used as a deliveryman into the shop, I hang out there until 22:00. Many nuances of Islamic books for children are good, but the little nuances of children’s books Christian/Catholic thus forced to look elsewhere. Not unexpectedly, found the knowledge of the Disney series books at very affordable prices , as well as various other specialized knowledge book series for preschoolers, kindergarten and elementary school.
For the kids at @GunungMimpi, because many middle and high school children, the search was adjusted book related to social studies and natural sciences. There are several books that teach English, packed with simple and attractive approach.
Mr. bookseller was kind enough to buy me a bottle of tea. Yes ampunnn, tau aja my hobby of drinking tea that one, haha …Thank God…
Book search is finally over, but much remains to be added…be a few days later we started looking around for some books at Scholastic when discounts are really cool and…assault Party Book in Senayan. So you already know you like ngeborong, from morning to leave for the office, we bring tuh stroller shopping… xixixi…time entry into the arena Party Book, some had nyeletuk, “go shopping vegetables, neng?” But after segambrengan books go into the basket, stand guard also said, “uh huh may also bu his weight well … so not shopping for books . ” *ihhh, yes weve dong, hahaha*
In addition to books, I also shopping stationery and coloring books. Imagine also that bored children are invited read on, later rather than happy, even depressed. Well, do not let deh ya. Reading should be fun!
In this book party moments last call for the exhibition will be closed , I met a Christian spiritual bookstore . Yeay , finally may also , where it is kind of in a corner anyway … immediately pictured the faces of children in Ambon , the care of the prospective pastor @ pinggirsentris
Well , because I am a Muslim , was initially not understand which books are suitable for children . Alhamdulillah , shopkeepers accompany and give some recommendations. If from my hell , deh same principle , which is important for the kids : color , image , and not too thick . Here, too, I found a book about Mother Teresa and moral lessons for children .
Funnily enough , this is also an active guard asked , this book is intended for anyone . In between elections , a conversation ensued :
The shopkeeper ( PT ) : Mother looking for these books for what age ?
I ( S ) : For children ages 1-8 years old mas …
PT : Oh mother of children aged that much ?
S : Yes … there are 8 years old , there are 4 years …
PT : The children ‘s mother had had a Which?
S : Oh , this is not for my children …
PT : ( terdiam. … I think the conversation is finished ) . Then …
PT : If it were not for the children ‘s mother , these books for anyone bu ?
S : Oh , for the children in Ambon mas …
PT : Oh ….
Then he started again …
PT : Why did the mother sent the book to Ambon ? Far away …
S : Oh yes , there lack of reading material for children mas …
PT : I ‘ve been doing this service ?
S : Well … this is not a service mas as mas … my Muslim thought .
Naaahhhh , mas mas her and her one more in the back , plus the guard filmed spontaneous cashier . Then he nodded whatever that meant . I was only able to give a smile . Duh … I’m sorry I did not mean to confuse anyone …
Call was echoed back , begging the buyer immediately finalize payment as soon closed shop . I was rushed , smiled at them once again , and go home .
On the way I pray … I hope what I did get blessings from Allah SWT . My intention lillahi ta’ala … want to read uplifting and positively shape the character of children from an early age , Regardless of their religions .
Peace ,
Vera Makki
