My daughter's favorite book is not mine, and that's ok. Of course I know this will change many times throughout her life, but I'm totally ok if her favorite book is one other than my own. The simple reason for that is that all the books I ever read both with text and illustration had an impact on me and influenced my dream of writing a story. I love Henry very much, but, truth be told, I have many favorite books, not just one. Without those other books, I would probably never have written Henry. It was the dream of seeing my book on a bookshelf alongside all my other favorites that pushed me forward. I'll reread one or two of my favorites again this summer, and without a doubt I'll read my daughter her favorite book again and again. Good readers always reread!
Baby Girl's Favorite: "Rex Wrecks It" by Ben Clanton
My Favs: The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling, The Eragon Series by Christopher Paolini, Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein, The Princess Bride by William Goldman, and Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery
