Inspirational quotes from children’s books
Do you ever need to feed your soul? Sometimes I do. I’ve always found books a great way to drip some love into my heart. But I’ve also found that it’s not just whole books. Sometimes a passage, sentence or just a phrase is all it takes to ignite my spirit.
As you know, children’s literature plays an important role in my life.

In this article, I’ve included just a few of the wise words I’ve found in children’s literature.
