From the newly appointed National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, a timely and intimate meditation on the ways we think about and interact with children's literature, and what that says about our opinions of children and childhood.
Make Believe is a book for adults about books for children, a rallying cry for art and imagination, and a celebration of the power of storytelling in all our lives.
Mac Barnett, the beloved, bestselling children's author and U.S. National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, urges us to think expansively about the potential of children's books—and the particular brilliance of young readers:
What if children are a great audience for art?
What if they are in fact better equipped to engage deeply with stories than adults?
What if humans' ability to appreciate art is, if not innate, awakened early in childhood?
Written with humor and academic rigor, Make Believe reads like a letter from one's smartest and funniest friend.
