ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Non-fiction

Non-fiction means books or articles that are about real things that have happened, or real facts that we can learn about. So it’s different from fiction, which is when people make up a story or use their imagination to create something that isn’t true.

Non-fiction books can be about lots of different things, like animals, history, science, sports, biographies of famous people, and lots more. They are usually written to teach people about something or to help people understand difficult subjects in a way that’s easy to understand. They can also have lots of pictures and diagrams to help explain the information.

When you read a non-fiction book, you can learn new things that you might not have known before. So it’s a great way to learn about the world and all the amazing things that happen in it!
