Miss Moore is Anne Carroll Moore is one of many librarians who opened the world of libraries to children. Her position at the New York Public Library and her serious attention to children’s books set a precedent for many to follow. I love the title! The very idea that sometimes you need to “think otherwise” is a tremendous message for children today. 

Read this and then hug a librarian!
