Roald Dahl was and still is one of my heroes. His strange, dark, silly stories helped me to feel understood as a child and like I was taken seriously as a human. I felt respected by him and he challenged me.
I just discovered Emerald Fennel wrote a children‘s novel.
I’ve always said this was the book that made me a reader. I have a vivid memory of sitting in the back of my parent’s car reading the chocolate cake scene. Still one of my absolute favorites.
the most iconic picture books from my childhood are the rainbow fish and the very hungry caterpillar
however other really fun nostalgic book series from childhood include the stiltons , babysitters club and the rainbow magic books also any jaqueline wilson books SO MUCH FUN
this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing
