8 Must-Read Children’s Books

I’ve been a reader all my life. I believe in the power of books: the knowledge they can offer, the perspectives they share, the doors they can open. 

Learning to read and then reading to learn are life skills. As a parent and certified reading specialist, my goal is to help kiddos discover, love and appreciate this power. Below are 8 must-read children’s books. They are wonderfully written and often funny, but they also portray powerful messages and amazing illustrations.
