Attempting deeper or more mature kid's stories is stupid.

Everyone seems to just never ever understand that kids are ridiculously superficial and only care about surface level entertainment. You know, because they are kids. That's not talking down and claiming kids are stupid and will consume anything, but they are attracted to the cool factor of cheap entertainment and love tie-ins. No child is going to give a fuck about classical entertainment or pursuing intellectual stimulating anything. Because it's boring.

Kids can't understand complex issues like politics, anyone who claims that they could is simply viewing their childhood through rose tinted glasses. It's better to keep it simple.

I'm trying to remember the name of a children's book about two twins that both kill themselves at the end. Does anyone remember the name of it?

Is making a fictional story for adults or to have adult themes pretentious and stupid? Or is if possible?

I mean, who ends a children's book with the main character killing themselves.
Saint-Exupery's plane went missing soon after, and suicide seems very plausible

What are some of the darkest kids fairy tales?

>childrens story ends with the child main character committing suicide
WTF
