Children's books can teach important moral lessons while engaging young readers with fun and imaginative stories.

Dr. Seuss and Winnie the Pooh are influential children's books that combine chaos and innocence to create memorable stories.

Becoming a children's author can be a surprising and fulfilling career path, even for those who didn't initially plan on it.
