In my spare moments, I enjoy reading to him. If you see his reading list (see below), you may understand why.
There is simple magic played out when I start reading with him his books - some borrowed from the public library, some he received as presents.
I like especially the book on "How's it made - a chocolate bar" by Sarah Ridley. From the picking of the cocoa beans from the cacao trees in Ghana, I am educated through the entire process in chocolate production - the quality selection of the beans, the fermentation process, the transportation to the factories, the production and the packaging. Delectable reading, really ... :-)
And by the way, did you know that the Aztec civilization used cocoa beans the way we use money today?

You should buy or borrow the book "If the World were a Village" written by David Smith & illustrated by Shelagh Armstrong, for Elijah. Great book to start the young thinking about global inequalities and what should be done.
