Children’s literacy advocate John Schu and Caldecott Honor recipient Lauren Castillo celebrate the power of finding the perfect book.This is a word on a page. This is a page in a book. This is a book on a shelf ... waiting. With a seahorse kite in their hand, a child heads out with Dad to the library.
