[ThaiHaBooks] There are moments from childhood that, no matter how much time has passed, still bring a smile to our lips whenever we look back. It might be skipping class to go play, sneaking into a neighbor’s garden to steal guavas, or tiptoeing out to join friends in the blazing midday sun while Grandma thought you were napping. Those fragmented memories might seem long forgotten, but reading “Silly Days” makes adults suddenly realize that a mischievous child still lives within their hearts.

This book is a collection of 24 childhood stories by Jang Kều, the founder of the Sống Foundation. Before becoming the inspiring woman she is today, she was once Giang – the “number one” mischievous girl in the countryside of Hung Yen.

Through every page, readers revisit innocent pranks and pure wonder: a first “marketing” lesson at the village market, wetting pants in class due to sheer curiosity, or the times she fell, took her punishment, and laughed it off to stand tall again. These stories are not just funny and adorable but also leave behind lingering thoughts.

Not only for children, “Silly Days” is a special gift for parents. It helps adults rediscover their own memories and provides material to tell their children about a simple childhood—full of love, connected to nature, and rich in real experiences. For children, the book opens up a different world, showing them that their parents were once naughty kids too—who dared to make mistakes, dared to be curious, and dared to dream.

Reading “Silly Days”, we laugh, we empathize, and we are reminded that mistakes, mischief, and curiosity are indispensable steps on the journey of growing up. In today’s hurried pace of life, these memories serve as a bridge for one generation to tell the next, bringing families closer together so that childhood is never lost.
