Journeys and Pathways

"The secret in life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do." — Henry Moore

Some of us do not discover our path in life until we are adults, and many of us walk along more paths than one, but the seeds of our choices often lie in early childhood experiences. In Journeys and Pathways, we invite you to share some of the pathways walked by our authors, our illustrators, and everyone who journeys through our books, and to let the message of the stories and the wonder of the art weave their magic for you.
