Children's book creators have a way of reshaping, and reframing our worlds with the best of intentions, and I have found that my love for children's books has not died, at all. If anything, it has grown. This week, I'd love to share with you five of my favorite children's books, what they each mean to me, and what they each provide me with/how these stories and images help reshape and restore my perspective. As an adult, these stories have a way of reminding me of what is possible, and that persistence is sometimes less about grit and more about softness.
From stories about playing dress-up, a river adventure, community gardening, and lost space ships, I hope that by listening to me describe the cadences of these books you can feel some of what I feel while taking in these bright symbolic adventures.
