Our Incredible Library Book—and the Wonderful Journeys It Took” by Caroline Crowe, illustrated by John Joseph, is a heartfelt reminder of why books are magical.
This story is about one library book and its incredible journey through decades of readers. From its shiny debut on the “new bookshelf” to its adventures with children who patched up torn pages, erased scribbles, and cherished it through thick and thin—this book celebrates the beauty of shared stories and the hands (and hearts) that hold them.
This resonates deeply with me. It’s a beautiful way to remind us that a library book isn’t just a vessel for one story—it’s a keeper of countless stories from the readers it has touched. I can’t wait to share this with my class on library day and watch their faces light up as we discover the journey of this beloved book together.
To all my fellow book lovers: This one’s for you and every dog-eared, taped-up, much-loved library book that shaped your childhood.
