Reading books can positively impact the mental health. It can take you to different places. They can relax you and calm you, and they can offer wisdom, or humour, or both. Reading “challenging language” sends “rocket boosters” to our brains, which in turn boosts our mental health.

Graphic novels allow students to read above their independent reading level so they can engage with more challenging text. ... “When students read enjoyable, complex, and compelling stories, they are motivated to read more, so graphic novels can be great stepping stones to longer text works.”

All Alone

In the vast fields of cut grain where you won’t meet a friend, The scarecrow is standing all alone,without a home.

Sick and cold, Without a handkerchief to blow his nose,or a scarf to keep him

warm.

The weather is dark and blustery. The wind blows strong with fierce gusts.

You can lose yourself in the dust.

The scarecrow is struggling to stay upright,not to fall on the ground. The birds have flown away,nobody is there.

A worn-out hat and a patched up cloak do not protect him from the

icy wind.The scarecrow has hope, though. But the poor man needs warm clothes, a cosy bed and a tissue to

blow his nose. Some hut would serve him well,his troubles would go

faraway. The coming winter would not scare him anymore, he would be safe,

He would be warm.

Do you feel sympathy?No one would like to be in his miserable place. We should help him face the

troubles he suffers– We should always help others.

(SylwiaZabor-Żakowska,2016)
