A book to read to your little one, while giving them a glimpse of the world.
A dutch-british mix iconic actresses on stage and screen but suffered greatly during the war when she’s young. Not forgetting her childhood during the war, she did whatever she could to help others. During her retirement, she became ambassador of a children’s charity where she travelled around the world, raising awareness for children who needed water, food and medicine.
When I read to My kids, I make sure to stop and explain Audrey Hepburn’s simple rule for life “Dance as though no one is watching. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth”; and her important role as ambassador of goodwill, the needs of clean water, food and medicine (the basic and necessities for survival) for some less fortunate children.
They don’t understand at first, until I explain and show them photos of children drinking from the puddles, malnutrition because they don’t have proper food and terribly sick because they don’t have medications. Now they understand not to take the basics for granted.
“We are lucky to live in Hong Kong with clean water, food and medicines when we sick. So we don’t have to drink the mud water “, said Karena
“You’re right. We are fortunate enough to have everything we need and want. That’s why we should appreciate things we have, all of us, not just kids”, said mommy.
