April 2nd is International Children's Book Day, a way to inspire children to pick up a book and start reading! The date was chosen based on the birthday of famous children's author Hans Christian Anderson. At Scarlett Alley, we love carrying children's books, and we hope a few of these recommendations will get you inspired to pick up a book and read!
