Copyright is like having a toy that you really like and you don't want anyone to touch or take your toy away from you. But instead of a toy, it's something that you made or created like a drawing, a story, or a song.
When you make something, you own it just like how you own your toy. And just like you don't want anyone to take your toy away from you, you don't want anyone to take your creation away from you either. Copyright helps protect your creation from other people taking it, copying it, or using it without your permission.
Copyright means that you are the only one who can decide what to do with your creation. You can choose to share it with others or you can keep it to yourself. But if someone wants to use your creation, they have to ask for your permission first. And you can say no if you don't want them to use it.
So, copyright is like a special guard that helps protect your own special thing that you made and it helps make sure that other people can't take it without asking you first.
