Many parents mistakenly equate reading with literacy. It is true that reading is the most recognized component of literacy but there are many facets to literacy. Literacy is the way we comprehend the world around us. For children it manifests in their play time. Playing allows them to solve problems as well as assert and apply their knowledge. There are children in other parts of the world which are literate in tasks such as fixing cars or peddling items. The western world is often quick to label these children as illiterate. The realization that some of these children are gifted beyond their years in their fields sometimes comes as a shock.
At Papa Didos we believe that education is the foundation of a happy and productive life. We believe it is important for children to experience different avenues of literacy. We want kids to play in and explore the worlds of imagination. We give books to kids so that doors may open. The creatures from our universe will accompany us on our many upcoming adventures. We want to show the kids worlds both real and imagined. So we will play, we will learn, we will change the world, and we will have fun.
