As a child, I saw a hat—until I learned it was actually a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. This drawing from The Little Prince reminds me how children use imagination to see beyond the obvious, while adults often lose that creative perspective.

I always loved "Where the Wild Things Are" because my pop read it to me, so it just fueled my overactive imagination. I always loved to draw creatures and make up stories.

Pete the cat was my favorite book as a kid because my cousin Emily had a cat named Peter so I would always think Pete was her cat.

As a kid How the Grinch stole Christmas was my favorite. It told me to always do the right thing. Even though the Grinch didn't like Christmas, he opened his heart and started to love it.

The Giving Tree was one of my favorite childhood books. It was portraying a wonderful message and story about showing generosity and love to everyone and showing that you can help everyone.

I liked this book because it was funny and had a lot of rhyming and tounge twisters. When I was little, in school, we would color the fish and sort them by color, shape, and size.
