When you draw a picture or write a story, it’s like planting a special tree in a garden. This tree is yours, and you have the magic key that lets you decide who can pick the fruit or sit under its shade. This magic key is called copyright. It means only you can say who can use your picture or story, just like deciding who can play with your toys.
Think of copyright as a superhero cape that protects your art and stories. This cape makes sure no one else can pretend your work is theirs. If someone else wants to use your drawing or story, they need to ask for permission, just like asking if they can borrow your favorite toy.
Another way to see copyright is like a name tag on your backpack. It shows everyone that the backpack belongs to you. If someone tries to take it, the name tag tells them it’s yours. Copyright is like that name tag for your creations, making sure everyone knows who made them.
