100 Must-Read Picture Books for Kids and Adults - Page 2

"If there is one thing I've learned from being a youth librarian, it's that picture books are some of the most wonderful things in the world. I'm not just talking about for children, either. As an adult I have found joy, inspiration, comfort, sadness, and growth by reading picture books. From rhyming tales of books lost in zoos to death parables that refuse to sugarcoat, from surreal abstract collages to breathtaking classical art – there is nothing you can't find in this simple, quick, beautiful form."
