Hana wants to know everything about the world around her. When she starts asking questions, her mother gives her a book. She learns so much, but now she has even more questions! She also has a big mission: she will read all the books—every single one! She reads every book in her house…and then her friends’ houses…and then the whole block. Nonfiction, fiction, romance, mysteries, and science fiction. But when her mother takes her to the downtown library, she realizes there are a lot more books than she thought…way more. Maybe she can’t really read all the books—now what?
Debbie masterfully captures the essence of a child’s wonder and determination, painting a vivid picture of Hana’s adventures in reading. It is a testament to the power of books and their ability to foster curiosity that will keep readers laughing page after page, as well as inspire them to challenge themselves and explore reading both for fun and to learn.
With features of books from all genres and readers from all backgrounds, I Want to Read All the Books is about how sharing books and even starting a book club is a great thing!
