Books

You cannot write for children.  They're much too complicated.  

You can only write books that are of interest to them.

~ Maurice Sendak

Books and children go together really well.  Children learn to stretch their imaginations through reading and being read to.  They create stories within stories.  They ask questions about how things worked based on the stories they hear.  They find the world and their places in the world through stories, storytelling and literature.  It is important to read to them and to read for them and to encourage them to read for themselves.  Reading is exploration and helps sustain growth throughout a person's life.

More than books and children going together well, they belong together.  But when you're moving or going on a trip, they should be packed separately.
