The Joy of Children’s Literature
I can still remember how the joy I felt as a child reading
my favorite books, from the Hardy Boys,
Nancy Drew and Archie Comics to such classics as Tuck Everlasting, The Neverending Story and A Wrinkle in Time.
Those books and many others helped shaped the way I read and the way I view the
world. We all have our favorite children’s books which are dear to us and have also
found recent children’s books that speak to us as adults.
The New York Public Library has an amazing exhibition called
The ABC of it: why children’s books matter. This exhibition celebrates the extraordinary richness, artistry, and
diversity of children’s literature across cultures and time. If you have any
time, please go and enjoy this extraordinary tour given by NYPL.
