About The BookA book for adults about books for children, a rallying cry for art and imagination, and a celebration of the power of storytelling in all our lives.Make Believe is bestselling children’s author Mac Barnett’s incisive, intimate, and timely invitation to approach children’s literature not only as an art form worthy of deep study and criticism, but as a portal into the lives of the children. And at a time when we are faced with a national literacy crisis, he champions the profound joys of literature and the importance of reading for pleasure.What if children are a great audience for art?What if they are in fact better equipped to engage deeply with stories than adults?What if humans’ ability to appreciate art is, if not innate, awakened early in childhood?Well, then we’d better do our best to make some good kids’ books.Written with humor and academic rigor, Make Believe reads like a letter from your smartest and funniest friend.About The AuthorMac Barnett is the ninth U.S. National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, appointed by the Library of Congress and Every Child a Reader.
