This illustrated, gifty collection, with witty and inspirational quotations organized in chapters such as \"How to Believe in the World\" and \"How to Have Fun in the World,\" reminds us not to lose sight of the values we learned as kids-to be courageous, to do good deeds, to respect our imaginations, and maybe even to break a few rules every once in a while. Some quotations will bring readers back to old favorites like The Little Prince or Ramona Forever while others will lead to new discoveries inspired by the exciting new variety of children\'s books being published today. And all provide a roadmap to doing and being good in the world.As one reviewer wrote about Believe In the World\'s predecessor, What the Dormouse Said, published by Algonquin in 1999, \"Whether you\'re looking for wisdom about goodness or sadness or even more practical matters, you will surely find it in this delightful collection.\"Believe In the World lands in the sweet spot of nostalgic and entertaining; fresh and enlightening. And at the same time, it reminds us of the exhilaration of being a reader, young at heart, venturing forth into the world of storybooks and unforgettable characters and confirming that we are never too old to recapture the lessons, pleasures, and exuberance of childhood.
