In the world of children

Published in the second quarter of 2025, but not long after that - in the third quarter of 2025, Kim Dong Publishing House republished the book duo In the world of a 10-year-old boy by author Hai Nam and In the world of a 10-year-old girl by author Mai Anh.

The book duo In the World of a 10-Year-Old Boy and In the World of a 10-Year-Old Girl.

In today’s vibrant, diverse and rich book market, not many publications can do this. Why is this pair of books so popular and attractive to readers?

1001 funny and lovely questions

Children at the age of 9 and 10 enter a new stage of development, not only with physiological changes but also with psychological and cognitive disturbances. Therefore, "modern parents today often look for age-appropriate books on psychology for their children to read so that they can better understand their own development. However, books on psychology for this age group often do not meet market demand. There are some books on this topic translated from Western publications that are not very suitable for Vietnamese culture and lifestyle..." - author Hai Nam said.

A situation in the book In the World of a 10 Year Old Boy.

Author Hai Nam was born in 1986, is a programming engineer, currently living and working in Ho Chi Minh City. Some of the author's published books: Young father is a noob, the kid is hard to handle; A cat is better than a younger brother...

Meanwhile, the book duo In the World of a 10-Year-Old Boy and In the World of a 10-Year-Old Girl are a collection of humorous and lovely everyday situations. Reading the books, boys and girls aged 10 will find for themselves the answers to 1001 questions about their psychology. If 10-year-old boys worry about: Where is the masculine power? When will I grow a beard? How to respond when being teased for being fat? Unrevealed secrets..., then girls will have concerns about their "period", fashion sense, loneliness, love... and countless other questions. All of these questions will be answered scientifically and fun when children read the books.

Author Mai Anh's real name is Doan Thi Mai Anh, born in 1988 in Ho Chi Minh City, currently living and working in the Middle East. Some of the author's published books: My mother is an alien, the book series Super cool women in Vietnamese history, Cicada wandering in the North Pole...

A humorous, accessible perspective

Compared to publications with the same topic on children's psychology, the difference between In the World of a 10-Year-Old Boy and In the World of a 10-Year-Old Girl is that they have a new approach: they also provide and explain children's psychology issues scientifically but from a humorous and witty perspective, so they are easier for children to access.

In addition, the situations are presented in the form of illustrated stories suitable for young readers.

Writer Cat Tuong, who organized the manuscript of the above two books, said: “Certainly in daily life, parents with children aged 9-10 will receive from their daughters/sons questions and concerns similar to the situations mentioned in the book. Parents may be confused about how to answer appropriately. If they answer too seriously, the children will have difficulty absorbing the information, which can aggravate the problem and negatively affect the child's psychology. Understanding that, these publications with very familiar stories explained in a funny way are not only a useful handbook for children aged 8+ but also a secret to help parents solve difficulties when explaining psychological issues to their children.”
