The children's books that inspired us
On a day meant to inspire people to read and shine light on children’s books, here are some of the most beloved children’s books!“The Snowy Day” by Ezra Jack Keats became famous for the way it perfectly captures the magic and a child’s wonder at a new world on a snow day.“Goodnight Moon” by Margaret Wise Brown is a classic of children’s literature, displaying quiet poetry with lullaby-like illustrations for a perfect end-of-day book.“Charlotte’s Web” by E. B. White is one of America’s top 100 most-beloved books. It tells the story of a spider named Charlotte, who writes out her tender feelings for a little runt piglet named Wilbur, who simply wants a friend. It is a novel of friendship, love, life, and death that has captured the hearts of many generations—and will continue to do so.“The Little Prince” by Antoine Saint-Exupéry is a French classic. The coming-of-age story is about the Little Prince, who crashes onto Earth from a distant planet and explores themes of loneliness and friendship in his relationships with a rose and a fox. “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein follows the relationship between an apple tree and a boy that spans decades, and chronicles the tree’s giving nature in contrast with the boy's “taking” nature.“Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss is a book full of memorable rhymes and Seussian nonsense, following a boy perpetually asking if an unnamed man wants to try his green eggs and ham.“The Hundred Dresses” by Eleanor Estes and Louis Slobodkin is a Newbery Honor classic that serves as a powerful tribute to the power of kindness and acceptance in the face of bullying, and cautions against being a bystander.type: embedded-entry-inline id: 3VuF3sBA0j2qOpQUfEPvGZKeep reading on Fable
