The Books of My Life

Abstract

We all have books that have impacted our lives, for many different reasons. I bet you’d be able to think back now and come up with a few; here are a few of mine.

Books from Childhood. I’m from a middle-class family from Wisconsin, not far from Racine, where Little Golden Books were born. So it doesn’t surprise me that my two favorite children’s books were those amazing golden-spined gems. Topping my list of reads and re-reads was Margaret Wise Brown’s Mister Dog, still in print today . . .
