Children's Books Reveal Life's Truths

Are you surprised, seriously?! All my best learning was while reading. Life lessons happened to my favorite characters and knowing they were going through what I was, is why I still love books today.

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. If you follow me on Goodreads, you'll know I'm about 21 books behind my goal of reading 100 books this year. No pressure! None, right? Anyone else panic when they log onto Goodreads or feel awfully proud when they're going on to write a review?

Does anything stand out as particularly metaphoric fo...
