Children all over the world can learn lessons from them. His stories share lessons that he has discovered throughout his lifetime. His teachings are left for all children and adults, young and old, to discover and explore. His experiences also occur throughout his books and the themes are based on actual events from the world and his personal life. His books, in addition, discouraged child illiteracy.
