In the world of childhood, fairy tales not only open up a space full of imagination, but also silently sow in children's souls the first seeds of kindness, courage and faith in life.
Nong cat trang si" by author Xuan Huy is such a work - an adventure story rich in poetry, imbued with the breath of nature, bringing to young readers the journey of maturity of a small life in a barren sandy land but full of vitality.
The work opens with the birth of Zhuang Shi, a baby lizard living in a harsh sandy hill area. Not growing up in protection, Zhuang Shi soon had to be independent, learn to observe, adapt and survive in the midst of lurking dangers. The journey of the little lizard is also a journey that raises a fundamental question for every child: How to grow up in a vast, challenging but also full of opportunities world?
Nature in "Nhong Cat Trang Si" appears vivid, close and evocative. Nature in the work is depicted as a vivid "character", both challenging and protecting, accompanying Trang Si's journey of growing up.
Under the clear lens of children's literature, the work gives young readers the feeling of both stepping into a fairy tale world and observing nature around them.
On the journey to explore the world and conquer the wise stone, Zhuang Shi meets many memorable figures. Each meeting carries a story, a personality, and a unique lesson. Through this, Zhuang Shi gradually understands that strength comes not only from physique, but also from intelligence, kindness, and the bond between species.
The book "Nhông cát Tráng Sĩ" conveys humanistic values naturally, without imposition. Tráng Sĩ is not a perfect hero, but a small nhông that knows fear, knows hesitation but still chooses to move forward.
Through this character, children can recognize themselves, sometimes shy, sometimes worried, but gradually learn to believe in themselves. The work helps young readers understand that maturity is not about no fear, but knowing how to face fear with courage and perseverance.
Besides, the work also impresses with its poetic quality and rich imagination. Legends told in a natural voice, natural scenes shimmering under the moonlight, and harmonies of cicadas in the summer night have created a world of animals that is both harsh and harmonious.
The book also evokes in young readers a sense of respect for nature, understanding that each living being has its own position in the cycle of life.
For readers, "Nhông cát Tráng Sĩ" is not only a children's book, but also evokes many reflections on the journey of growth, personal responsibility and the relationship between humans and the living environment. From a clear perspective of the animal world, the work reminds adults of the foundational cultural values that nurtured childhood: courage, kindness and belief in the power of friendship and solidarity.
With an image-rich, clear and loving writing style, author Xuan Huy has brought a children's work that is both close to natural life, and rich in educational meaning and cultural value.
Nong cat Trang Si" is not only a book to read, but also a companion, helping young readers gradually explore the vast world and discover themselves, thereby nurturing love for nature, compassion and sustainable human values.
