The moment my kids were born, I knew exactly which books I will put in their hands once they get old enough. Given that “old enough” to dive into the magic of books is about the age of one, I had plenty of time to prepare my list. A young brain perceives the world through imagery first so at the top of the list were several stories, beautifully illustrated by Ondřej Sekora, Libico Maraja, Beatrix Potter and Sandro Nardini.
