Children’s books and young adult fiction have so much to teach us, even as adults. We often remember them just for their optimism, and think them silly, but that forgets what the best part of this literature is about. Children’s books and young adult fiction focus most on learning to grow up, on finding balance in life, trusting yourself, and accepting the full range of emotions that make us human through the trials and tribulations of life. Here are 15 favorites:
“Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There” by Lewis Carroll
“Anne of Green Gables” by Lucy Maud Montgomery
“The Lorax” by Dr. Seuss
“The Magician’s Nephew” by C.S. Lewis
