- "Our Future Depends on Children's Books"
-
An interesting independent TEDxOttawa Talk from Mark Blevis, who looks at how the future is shaped by children’s books:
Much of what we become is shaped by the ideas we’re exposed to and the relationships of which we’re a part. The stronger those foundations are from childhood, the better equipped we are to understand the people with whom we interact and the world around us. Children’s books are the tools that help us open the door to a child’s natural curiosity, creativity and desire to connect, and are one of our strongest hopes for a great future.
