I encourage my fellow adults not to overlook children’s books when looking for our next great reads. When we do, we’re really missing out! Children's literature validates young readers, takes grown-ups back to their own childhoods, and invites us to remember that we aren't so different from kids after all.

In the last year or so I've read some excellent books and discovered some new favorite authors. These are not those books.

Robert Frost taught us to go against the grain and take the road less traveled. Maya Angelou taught us to still rise when the world is cruel and beats us down. Mary Oliver reminds us to slow down, appreciate a summer day and to ponder what we want to do with our one wild and precious life.
