3. Leo Lionni

“Among Leo’s many gifts was his ability to understand how a child’s mind works. He knew that children respond to and identify with stories about animals. And so the stories that he created are simple fables, using animals to show a human attribute or value. The tales do not hammer home a moral–they are primarily entertaining–but most children come away from them with a new understanding of sharing, cooperating, individuality, peace, diplomacy, and other underlying pinnings of the tales.”

One of my Favorite Books:

Swimmy
