Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author and poet noted for his children's stories. These include "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Little Mermaid", "Thumbelina", "The Little Match Girl", and the "The Ugly Duckling".
During his lifetime he was acclaimed for having delighted children worldwide, and was feted by royalty. His poetry and stories have been translated into more than 150 languages. They have inspired motion pictures, plays, ballets, and animated films.
“The Ugly Duckling” is a Caldecott Honor Book and one of family’s favorite story.
This book can be used to teach children about morals and judging others. Just because someone is a little different from you or anyone else doesn’t mean they should be treated badly.

Another favorite author of my family is Beatrix Potter.
She was an English author who was best known for her best-selling children's books that featured animal characters, such as Peter Rabbit.
This website http://wiredforbooks.org/kids/beatrix/p1.htm tells the story of Peter Rabbit with illustrations.
