11 Children’s Books Perfect For the Adult On Your Holiday Shopping List
Anyone who has received a copy of Oh the Places You Will Go upon graduation or Where the Wild Things Are to celebrate the birth of a first child understands the power of children's literature to reach into our hearts and capture our dreams. It keeps on giving well after we stop shopping in the kids' section.
So this year, I had a thought: Why not forgo giving the traditional novel as a gift, and mix it up under the tree or around the menorah? These 11 children's books will put a smile on the face of every adult on your shopping list.
