Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

The Psalms have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I would have heard them first, in church. Poetry, language, faith. I do not remember learning how to read. I remember reading many books when I was young.

I quoted from Psalm 23 for our post on March 30, 2020 at Poems From Psalms And Nature, as part of our 2020 series.

The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.

Psalm 23: 1-3

List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

I pray the Psalms. And I have mentioned authors I have read for many years. Here are a few examples. I also read poetry journals and buy books from small presses.
