Here's another Trina Schart Hyman book that I just adore. Here, she collaborates with her daughter, Katrin Tchana, who collected a variety of world folktales that feature women in strong, capable roles. The illustrations are, of course, gorgeous, and very respectful of the different cultures and races portrayed. I have a copy of this set aside to read to my children one day.

I remember just loving the whimsy of this book as a small child. What's more fun than food raining from the sky? I loved poring over the illustrations as a child, and frankly, I wouldn't mind a shower of cupcakes every once in awhile.

Kevin Henkes' picture books about anthropomorphic mice are just plain adorable. He captures the spirits of children very well and makes his mice both appealing and realistic. This particular book is about two boys learning to be friends with the new mouse in the neighborhood, a girl.
by Virginia Lee Burton
This is another early favorite of mine, at first because I had the same name. But the story of the little Snowplow that could still warms my heart every time I read it, and this is my favorite of Virginia Lee Burton's many incredible books for children.
