Children's Books to Feed Millennial Nostalgia

I learned to read between 1995 (birth) and 2000, and these are the books that taught me how. As some of my peers raise their kids, I find us all returning to the first titles we remember reading to share with them and ignite their passion, and I think that's beautiful tbh.

P.S. My mom helped me make this list. đŸ«¶đŸŒ

I want a Harold and the Purple Crayon tattoo so bad. There's a scene where he draws a bunch of food including a pie for "a very deserving porcupine" and I simply must get that lil guy as a tattoo!!! đŸ„șđŸ„ș

I’ve thought often about a Harold themed tattoo being my first one with color, so I love this!!

I love this so much! I work at a library and children's books always bring back the best memories and nostalgic feelings! 💜
