Story gives public form to private
meanings and thus helps those who receive its messages to reach out
to other human beings in the world, knowing that they share some of
the same concerns and feelings. Informational narratives are also
important forms of children's literature and ways for young people
to understand and appreciate their world
and those who share it with them.
We all need to learn about life both literally and literarily, efferently
and aesthetically.
