The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
I love this book! It's adorable and reminds me of my childhood because it's one of the first books that I remember reading myself. I've also read it in Spanish!
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
This was just one of those books that I could not put down! I think it would have been absolutely fabulous to have lived during the 20s!
The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
I read this a few years ago and its still one of my all-time-favorite books. It’s a beautiful story!
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
I really enjoyed this one even though I found it to be very sad. I found myself crying throughout reading it but I greatly admired Sebold’s structure and style of writing.
I Love You the Purplest by Barbara M. Joosee
I Love You the Purplest is such a sweet book! It is a story about two brothers who each ask their mother which brother she loves more and she explains to them by using their favorite colors, blue and red, that she loves them each the “purplest,” and therefore equally. My mom read this to my three sisters and I many times when I was younger, and it brings back fond childhood memories.
Audrey: Her Real Story by Alexander Walker
I loved this biography of Audrey Hepburn! I had always admired her for being a well-known actress and fashion icon, but after reading about her extensive work with Unicef as well as her personal struggles, I respect her even more.
The Bread Givers by Anzia Yezierska
I was able to identify with this book in some aspects because I, like Sara Smolinsky, am Jewish and one of four sisters.

Jaclyn, your comments make it clear why each of these titles was so appealing, either because of the topic, or the circumstances of how you read it, or the personal connections you made to it. I'm curious how you happened to find Bread Givers. Was it your ID book or did you find it on your own somehow?
