I Am a Thinker – the tenth story – from the Love Series, Level Two: “I Love You All” in the Tafakkur Program. This is a series of methodological stories that build the child’s faith and self-confidence, while nurturing thinking, creativity, and intelligence.

When a human being uses his abilities and skills, he feels great delight for they were created to be used and manifested. What benefit would there be in a sundial kept in the shade?!

In this story, the child delights in using his thinking abilities, moving between imagination and reality, observing the past, present, and future, and soaring in the meanings of love and giving.

To ignite the spark of thought and enrich the imagination, we must give children the opportunity to imagine the picture before actually seeing it, stimulating the brain toward visual imagery.

Therefore, I advise parents to read the text related to the imagined scenes before allowing their children to view the story’s illustrations. Afterwards, they can enjoy matching the image drawn by their imagination with the actual illustration, so that our children may taste the sweetness of thinking.
