After 40 years,I met my childhood hero. Not a sporting god or an ageing pop star. Judy Blume,the beloved children's author,at this year's Sydney Writer's Festival.

Still I am neasy. As a primary school teacher and mum, what of today's children's inner ives? And their books? For them." electronics have changed everything about the how of communication,"says Blume."But not what they"re feeling."Screens lure(诱惑)Australian children for up to seven hours a day. Screen time may involve reading and positive social interactions.

Reading books connects us in spirit. It unites generations and shapes children's identity , their own voice. Reading books fired our imaginations. Characters filled our hearts. They were good

company.

Will this generation feel the same? Surely "intelligent digital beings" like Siri, Alexa or Google Home could never replace children's imaginary social companions?

Psychology Professor Sandra Calvert thinks it's possible. She writes in the Joumal of Children and Media although young children may understand that "artificial beings" are not biologically alive, children's "personification and treatment of them 'as if they are alive, may be enough to make them valuable social partners, who can serve as trusted teachers and friends". Robots? Digital imitations can't connect children with what it means to be human.

And books smell good. " How can we encourage children to read?" I asked my childhood hero.“Go to a bookstore with your child," says Blume. "Sit on the floor. Turm the pages. Read the first page,a middle page, or don't, but help your child find a voice they can connect with." You can do that at the library or with a teacher, Me, I will be heading to the attie to dust off a few favorites.
