Guess what? Before computers and tablets, people used to write with… a typewriter! It was like a computer keyboard, except when you pressed a key, it directly printed a letter onto the paper with ink. No 'delete' or 'copy-paste,' so you had to be super careful.

The first machines date back to the 19th century. They were enormous and very heavy. Gradually, they became smaller, faster, and easier to use. By the 1980s, they had almost disappeared, replaced by computers.

I find it amusing: we've gone from the 'clack clack clack' sound of keys to the silent screen of our computers. But the typewriter remains a brilliant invention because it was the first time people could write quickly and legibly, just like a pro!

I always wondered why the sky wasn't green or purple... and it turns out it's because of sunlight!

Light appears white, but it's actually made up of lots of different colors mixed together. When it passes through the air, tiny particles in the atmosphere cause the blue color to bounce back, scattering it everywhere. That's why we see a blue sky during the day.

And in the evening, at sunset, the light travels through more air. So the blue disappears and orange and red take over. That's why sunsets are so beautiful!

I think it's magical that science can explain something we see every day without thinking about it.

I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and loved it!
It's the story of a poor boy, Charlie, who wins a golden ticket to visit Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Inside, there are rivers of chocolate, magic candies, and even squirrels that crack nuts!

What I liked was that the children who were mean or too spoiled got into trouble, but Charlie, who was kind and polite, was rewarded.

This book made me want to go to a real chocolate factory. And if I went, I would take a huge spoon to taste the chocolate river!
