Mother Goose Day

Mother Goose Day is celebrated our childhood with fairy tales, and because of those wonderful fairy tales, our days have been transformed into magical experiences.

Childhood is a beautiful memory for anyone because it contains a lot of interesting things. Without a second thought, we all grew up listening to a lot of fairy tales and rhythmic rhymes as children. It was your parents or grandparents who entertained you with so many different stories and songs. Besides them, there is another personality that has made you listen to a collection of fairy tales and rhymes. You must have guessed it and it is none other than the talented Mother Goose. Mother Goose Day on May 1st every year was created to celebrate Mother Goose, an incredibly talented storyteller, and the role she played when you were a child.

Why Mother Goose Day?

The day is celebrated to remember the childhood stories we used to read and ultimately create our own magical world or stay out of that fantasy for days. Stories are magical because they don't charge us high prices for tickets and springtime journeys that take us to a place and give us memories; instead, they are low priced and bring back great memories.

Every story in story books and stories told to us by our grandparents have moral teachings, a great lesson for life. Those moral teachings and life lessons have been gently taught, and therefore, somewhere in the core of our hearts, we have those teachings. Through stories is the mind and ingrained in it are life lessons, and now the children around us will surely understand those teachings.

The power of imagination through these childhood stories increases, and a permanent link is created with childhood stories and rhymes. As a result, individuals across the United States celebrate National Mother Goose Day as a token of thanks and love for the writers and rhymes and stories that make their childhood memories alive. We become invaluable by using travel to destinations without incurring hefty costs to teach something like a life lesson and to teach morality.

History of Mother Goose Day

Gloria. T. Delamar, a famous fairy tale writer, established National Mother Goose Day in 1987. This was also the year Delamar published “Mother Goose: From Kindergarten to Literature”. But the history of fairy tales and the rhymes that followed goes back a long way. French writer from the 17th century, Charles Perrault, is said to be the founder of the fairy tale genre. It was through his works that for the first time the lessons of imagination and life were integrated. In 1729, an English version of Perrault's work that was translated by Robert Samber, was published with the name "History, or Tales of Past Times, Told by Mother Goose."

Many early versions of fairy tales and nursery rhymes had much darker themes than the versions we have today. In The Little Mermaid story, instead of Ariel's happy ending, she returns to the sea and dies after turning into a sponge. Another example is the children's rhyme, 'Ring a Ring o Roses', which deals with the plague. In the old days, fairy tales and rhymes, like poetry, would parody the political situations of a country. At times, satire can be so offended that the writer is executed!

Many famous modern-day authors, such as C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, claim that fairy tales and rhymes have influenced their thinking and work. It is because of these authors and their predecessors that many people begin to enjoy reading from the very beginning, and this is the aim of Delamar and all other children's rhymes who want to encourage children to read. It is demonstrated that reading fiction when you was young will create empathy. As the result, these people tend to be leaders with great qualities and skills. Empathy, by itself, is an important quality in all walks of life.
