There’s something magical about stepping into a bookstore and picking up childhood classics. Today, while exploring an English bookstore in Barcelona, I found myself drawn to two beloved picture books: The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister and Elmer the Elephant by David McKee. These stories, with their vibrant illustrations and timeless messages, remind us that kindness, individuality, and generosity never go out of style.
Why These Books Still Matter
Both The Rainbow Fish and Elmer the Elephant tackle essential themes that remain relevant across generations. In a world where kindness and individuality are sometimes overshadowed by competition and conformity, these books gently encourage children to be their best, most authentic selves.
Have you read these books before? What childhood stories still hold a special place in your heart?
