Anita Silvey asked this question to more than one hundred of our most respected and admired leaders in society, and she learned about the books that shaped financiers, actors, singers, athletes, activists, artists, comic book creators, novelists, illustrators, teachers... Writers (Anna Quindlen, Sherman Alexie, Bobbie Ann Mason, Azar Nafisi, Angela Johnson, David McCullough, Ann Tyler, Dave Eggers,); inventors and scientists (Steve Wozniak, Andrew Weaver); politicians and activists (Donna E. Shalala, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.); artists (Wendell Minor, Pete Seeger); and the media (Lesley Stahl, Scott Simon) are just some of the people who share their stories. The lessons they recall are inspiring, instructive, and illuminating. And the books they remember resonate as influential reading choices for families. Everything I need to know I learned from a children's book, with its full color excerpts of beloved children's books, is a treasury and a guide: a collection of fascinating essays. 9781596433953 (hardcover) http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1650481*eng 9780700616695 (cloth : alk. paper) http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1650480*eng 9780700616664 (cloth : alk. paper) http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1650000*eng 1930157134 http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1142268*eng 0066-4227 http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1649985*eng 9780700616749 (cloth : alk. paper) http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1649983*eng 9780700616855 (cloth : alk. paper) http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1648076*eng When her family moves from Chicago to the country, nine-year-old Emily is drawn to a mysterious playhouse she finds in the woods and soon meets its sad, lonely inhabitant. 0375840796 http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1648110*eng 9780061774607 : $19.99 http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1648105*eng 9780742562066 (cloth : alk. paper) http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1648103*eng Wobegon goes abroad in this rousing and moving story of a group trip to Rome in which the warm circle of kinship invites stories of astonishing frankness and self-revelation--and of course, humor. 9780670021093 http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1648100*eng 9781416566403 http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1648086*eng 9781591027522 (hbk. : alk. paper) http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1648075*eng 9780226079790 (cloth : alk. paper) http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1648073*eng 9780520247789 (case : alk. paper) http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1648072*eng 0823006573 (alk. paper) http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1648070*eng 9780465009367 (alk. paper) http://whitelib.emporia.edu/record=b1648068*eng Eleven-year-old Nicholas Vargas only thinks his life has been turned upside down after his developer father remarries and moves his new wife and daughter into the soon-to-be completed Mangrove Hollow.
