This is my book.
My favorite book.
I carry it with me
wherever I go.
Meet the child who loves books in this lyrical tribute to the joys of books and reading by Newbery medalist Linda Sue Park, featuring the jubilant illustrations of celebrated Caldecott artist Chris Raschka. My Book and Me invites us to reflect on beloved books, which are friends we hold dear; books we read over and again; books that may take us to places afar to experience the world in different ways, and books that comfort and reassure us.
This jubilant paean to literature is a celebration of our favourite authors, characters, and stories; those that we cherish the most and are friends for life. Which books are your favourite?
My Book and Me features a diverse group of children, all enjoying their favourite books.
