I’m going “Stormy” by because it makes me cry.
“I want my hat back” by because it’s a perfect moment that is full of tension.
“Where TheWild Things Are” by Sendak just because and “Not now Bernard” by McKee as it’s so interesting

I have to shout out as well the genius that is Instructions by and Charles Vess. Seeped in fairytales and a guide to life.
