Igniting Imagination; Where Books Meet Creativity!

Reading books especially as children allows you to dive into the exciting world of storytelling and explore the wonders it holds! As we embark on this epic journey together, how many books have you immersed yourself in this year? If the answer is none, here are some great ways that will keep you turning page after page with the help of Kasuku!

Journal your reading 

You don’t have to read a book more than once to relate to the story (although this sometimes helps!) When you actively read between the lines and understand what the author is communicating, you will discover something new! By journaling you get to capture intriguing phrases, new words and key takeaways. So, grab your favourite Kasuku notebook and pen, and jot down an honest review of what you’re reading, and you will find that it will stick in your memory a lot easier!

Recreate the book cover 

I’m sure we all know the saying; ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’. However, the allure of a well-designed cover is hard to resist! Book covers provide a visual synopsis of the book to hook you at first glance. Would you rather pick up a plain hardcover novel, or would you prefer one that is more colourful with unique graphics? If you chose the latter, how about recreating your favourite book covers? Use Kasuku’s sketchpads and range of colours and paints to creatively express yourself and who knows, you might find the inspiration to write your own cool novel!

Make a visual story book 

Do you know how writers came up with your favourite books or comics? By letting their creativity take charge! Through trial and error, some of the best pieces of literature have been developed and have thrived for decades. From playwriters like Shakespeare to popular Japanese anime comics, you can find and secure your place in the world of words. But it doesn’t stop there! 

Books help to paint a picture of the story it is telling its readers. So why don’t you do the same? As you come up with an epic story, have the visuals to strengthen it as well! If you have mastered writing skills such as good grammar, the time has now come to advance your artistic skills. It’s a good thing Kasuku just so happens to have all the stationery you would need on your journey… 

As we go through the last few months of 2023, are you ready to end it on a bang with an impressive list of books you have read? Perhaps some creative art inspired by your favourite book covers?
