The question that is urgently posed: who writes for the child of 2030 and goes beyond the limits of the book and the writer? It becomes a question related to the family, school, society, and cultural and media institutions, considering everyone as partners in shaping the child's awareness and building his future, especially since the child is not only the reader of the future but also the maker of the future, and it is essential that writing directed at children be able to address their minds, respect their questions, develop their imagination, and enhance the values of knowledge, belonging, tolerance, and creativity, because the book directed at the child should not be just a means of entertainment, but a space for self-discovery and personality building, and the word that should reach the child in his early years can leave a deep impact on his future.
This necessitates us all to send strong messages if we want to know the shape of our society in the year 2030 and beyond, we must first of all look at what we provide for our children today; the child we write for now is the person who will write our history tomorrow, and of course, we do not write for the child to read only, but we write for him to think, dream, ask, and create, and a good book does not always provide the child with a ready-made answer, but rather gives him the ability to search for the answer.
Digital transformations have imposed a new reality on children's literature, which requires writers and creators to develop their tools and methods, while preserving the human and cultural values that form the basis of the child's personality, and whoever writes for children must have a deep human and educational sense, be close to the child's world, able to listen to his questions and understand his fears and dreams, away from direct preaching and indoctrination, the real children's writer is the one who respects the child's mind, knows that the child is not a blank page on which we write what we want, but a human being with a vast imagination, big questions, and the right to present him with a beautiful and truthful text that opens the doors of knowledge and creativity. Whoever writes for children must combine talent and responsibility, the beauty of language and the clarity of the idea, and plant values in the story without turning it into a direct lesson, because the child learns more from the story he loves than from the text imposed on him.
We have a fundamental message that summarizes that the creation of the child of 2030 does not start in the same year, but starts from today; from the family, from the school, from the book, and from the word that reaches the child's mind and heart.
The book remains one of the most important bridges through which we can reach the child's mind and build his personality, because whoever writes for the child today, participates in writing the features of the future tomorrow.
