My mother read me this book at 3 years old, before I could read for myself.
Protagonist: The mother, she always shows her enduring love.

I Love You Forever is a story about the never ending love that parents hold for their children through their lifetime.

"I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be."

Now, as a young adult, I have a very close relationship with my mother. I truly believe that our relationship formed this way because when I was younger she would read me books like these and affirm her enduring love for me.

I read these books for the first time around 12, I can't even remember how many times I have read them all now.
Protagonist: Harry Potter, he navigates the wizarding world while growing up.

Harry Potter is a fictional series, loved by all audiences. Harry grows up while figuring out his new place in the wizarding world, fights battles that some of the oldest and wisest wizards couldn't, and does all of this with his best friends Ron and Hermione by his side the whole time.

"It is our choices that show who we are far more than our abilities."

The Harry Potter Series will always be one of my favorites, as it was what first got me to enjoy reading. I have read these books countless times now.
