The books we read growing up can have a huge impact on the humans we become. Our dreams, morals and beliefs can all be attributed to the content we excitedly soaked in during our early years. Whether you are buying a book for your nephew, niece or your own child make it a piece of literature that sustains and empowers them.
Here are two beautifully illustrated children’s books we think every kid should have:
