Five Children's Books That Made Maleka's Heart Burst Wide Open


(and by bursting wide open, I mean these books either made me cry in a good way, or left me speechless, or made me want more, or made me want to change the world for the generations to come, or made me want to savor and cherish every minute on this beautiful and imperfect planet filled with all of humanity.)

The Gardener by Sarah Stewart ($6.99, VHPS)

Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold ($6.99, Random House)

I'm in Charge of Celebrations by Byrd Baylor ($6.99, Simon and Schuster)

The Way to Start a Day by Byrd Baylor ($6.99, Simon and Schuster)

The Curious Garden by Peter Brown ($16.99, Little Brown)
