I would walk down the path without a map. I would stop at every four steps or so to look around or on the ground. I would drink the sunshine selfishly. I would be accompanied while alone. I would weep while smiling. I would step firmly while touching the soil.

Love children’s books! This article is written because of my jolly and silly mood after reading the Clementine series by Sara Pennypacker.
Clementine is a third-grade student, one of those students who misunderstood because of their creativity and the way they interpret the world. I love “mischievous” students; it is fun to have conversations with them. The excuses they come up with are good sources to write children’s books. I had days when I was tempted to hush them. Even on those days, I bow to their brilliance. The courage to be “the adventure.” I wouldn’t want to kill that spirits! The world needs it!
“ “Clementine, you need to pay attention!” the art teacher said one more time. And just like the other times, I was paying attention. I was paying attention to Margaret’s empty seat.” ( Pennypacker, 5)
