March is Read Across America Month, and because I have such a love for children's books, I have compiled a list of books, most of which I have read, that are truly filled with life's little lessons. Picture books are not just for primary students, they deserve a place in upper grades as well. Finding time to talk about meaningful topics is important and set a purpose for learning, young and old.
