Artist Raghava Keiko and his children's book with different points of view
Inspiration / / December 26, 2019
In children's books the young reader is only one point of view - one of the heroes of the definition of good, others - bad initially. Artist Raghava Keiko could not find a book in which the story would be considered from different points of view. So he created it himself.
Most children's books (and not only children) are child heroes of the situation and with only one point of view. That is, the child has no choice and he takes the point of view of the protagonist of the story.
He can not look at what is happening through the eyes not very positive or negative characters. He does not know why they do this or that way. Usually adults is one answer: "Because it's bad." Why it's bad? What happened to him? It is unlikely that someone will explain to the child that the wolf wanted to eat the Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother because, for example, he was hungry.
Perhaps Red Riding Hood went to his territory, and the wolves are so arranged that used to defend their territory. Against the laws of nature will not trample. But you never know why he decided to eat them, and that this made Little Red Riding Hood (psychologists and their theories will not touch).
But the child gets only one answer, and takes it for granted. Raghava Keiko, artist and father of two children, was unable to find a suitable book and decided to do it himself. In his speech at TEDGlobal he tells and shows exactly how his book.
