This is a great initiative taken by Katha and Hewlett packard in consultation with Prasoon Joshi, for encouraging the habit of reading and writing in the children. All the stories are written by children and tell us something about their imagination and their viewpoint and their beliefs and dreams.And some are a lesson to even adults.

25..Sonia and the dream land..byAkansha agarwal
A girl dreaming about an orchard full of chocolates and sweets..I think it is every child's dream to find one.

Worth a read, if one wants to see what our children are thinking and a delight to the children as they can identify themselves.But not all are stories, as according to me an story has a beginning and end, they are ruminations of the children, may be about their pet, their dreams or wishes .Children should read and write something with a message..or moral..because this is the age when they form values which go all the way in their life
