Hong Kong Parent Produces Children's Books to Teach Universal Values
In recent years, the socio-political environment in Hong Kong has deteriorated continuously , especially after the elimination of general studies and addition of national security education into Hong Kong's school curriculum.
Many parents came to realize the importance of teaching their children universal values and basic concepts such as society and justice, some of them introducing these ideas to their children even during the pre-school years.
Bonnie, a mother of two daughters, told reporters that she has always been telling bedtime stories to her daughters, and often pondered about what kind of stories are suitable for them.
As democracy and freedom are being eroded in Hong Kong, she felt that she may not even be able to speak up on these topics in the future.
This led to her publishing a series of three children’s picture books on election, freedom, and justice, which is now available for sale at #Chickeeduck stores, as well as Bonnie's website "Hopology":

"A good picture book should be useful for both adults and children. It should be interesting for both," Bonnie said.
Different age groups may be interested in different aspects of the topic, she added, though picture books are made first and foremost for children.
Questions at the end of the book also lead readers to reflect on the story, and to use their imagination to understand abstract ideas.
Bonnie began creating picture books in 2019, her first book aiming to explain the pandemic to her two daughters. She subsequently released her work online as an illustrated e-book, thinking that "since I already told [the story] to two people, I might as well tell it to the world." She was surprised at the overwhelming responses from readers; her books had even been adapted by some schools as teaching materials.
This encouraged her to continue writing picture books, sharing with the world the stories she wrote to teach her daughters.
