In my opinion JONATHAN LIVINGSTONE SEAGULL (Richard Bach).
Coz it tells that we can overcome any limitation with patience & we all are an unlimited idea of freedom.

If and when I have children, I think I would get them started on the sanitized versions of Grimm's Fairy Tales, as well as "The Stories of Lola Basyang" by Severino Reyes (a Filipino author). I do not want my children to grow up not knowing anything about their cultural heritage...
As they grow older I may choose to hand them copies of the classics like the Iliad, the Odyssey, and others, just to give them a head start on their literary education. I'd also throw in other books like Neil Gaiman's "Coraline," just to expand their imaginations a little bit. Once they're old enough, I'll let them choose their own books while occasionally supplying them with my own suggestions (top of that list would be Lord of the Rings).
"Jonathan Livingston Seagull" is also an excellent choice of book, though I don't think I'd read it to them until they were really old enough to understand the message of the book - at around seven or eight or so is a good age, I guess...

The Iliad, of Homer!
Because it is the first and best book of the Western civilization! On it all the progress, languages, sciences, arts, philosophies are based! It is historic book, still through the mythical and allegoric presentation of the material, allows the readers to learn and develop their own visions! Thus all great figures, worldwide have studied Iliad, including Alexander the Great, Caesar, Kings, Philosophers, Religious people, Scientists, Artists, Businesspeople, ...!

Story Book: Beauty and the Beast.
The story tells us about the nature of true love derives from within and not based on the superficial looks of the person e.g. Belle's love for the Beast. It also cover many elements of true feelings for one another e.g. father & daughter love, friendships etc. Being there & helping one another when in need.
It also depicts the ugly side of the so-called beautiful people e.g. Gaston (a so-called handsome macho muscular guy in demand who only likes Belle & no other girls, as he thinks he deserves the best. Because Belle is the most beautiful girl in their town.).

i think of while you're taking a attractiveness from literature - fantastically something as properly-prevalent as Harry Potter - that's significant to ascertain that the character is admirable *and* the call is undemanding to placed on. If the paintings is imprecise, it incredibly is way less significant - yet all and sundry is familiar with HP and odds are that youngsters would be reading them for years and years yet to return. So Lily and Ginny greater healthful the bill - even with the undeniable fact that Ginny's finished call became Ginevra, something to contemplate. Narcissa and Bellatrix weren't beautiful characters, so i think of you to pass those. Nymphadora is a no longer undemanding one. it incredibly is Tonks, precise? She became a hero, yet even she hated her call! And that's a mouthful, one which would be very confusing for a new child to placed on. So i think of Nymphadora needs to circulate, too. Hermione, on the different hand, is a reasonable decision. As for boys, utilising the comparable standards, Draco needs to circulate, and in all probability Scorpius, too. (definite, he's only Draco's son, fairly suggested contained in the memories. besides the indisputable fact that it style of feels no longer undemanding.) Severus and Sirius are admirable characters, yet perchance awkward for a new child to placed on. i might stick them contained in the midsection. yet Cedric and James paintings properly as first names.

The Giver by Lois Lowry, because it's amazingly well-written, it's about children, and it makes you think.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, for the SAME EXACT REASONS.
Don't be fooled by the science fiction label; these books have so much humanity in them, it doesn't matter what time or place it occurs.

honestly, if I had a kid, I would want him/her to read The Giver. It teaches the reader that no matter what hardships he/she may find in life, it's always better than a life in black and white, with everything handed out to them and them being told what to do with their lives. Also, it teaches people that variety is what makes life interesting, and that obstacles, no matter how large, CAN be overcome.
