I’ve chosen some of my favourite quotes from children’s books which I hope you enjoy too.
Children’s books provide us with a wealth of inspiration and life lessons through beautiful and simple storytelling.
There are philosophical quotes about friendship, love, bravery and having courage, as well as accepting each other’s differences, believing in ourselves and never giving up.
