A Day on a Journey in Lakeside Shopping Mall Volume 1, is about a day the author and her daughter spent in a shopping mall. Children were enjoying a day during the summer holidays after the first lockdown during the pandemic. She thought to showcase memories of her childhood and her daughter’s childhood through the children they saw in the mall. I guess this is relevant for any child enjoying a day of shopping during a school holiday in the shopping mall. Each poem identifies with an alphabet letter to make them interesting and engaging while helping children learn the message in the poem. This book exposes different elements of a child’s journey and their different phases on their journeys. These elements include confidence, trust, bonding, family choice, motherhood, and love. The Author has taken a common event-going shopping- and turned into an enjoyable learning experience for the child/children. This book is for all age groups who may find it brings up enjoyable memories and reflections such as when they were young and doing similar things with their families.
