What is important to your child? There are items like a daisy, a spoon and the rain found within the pages of The Important Book and Margaret Wise Brown writes exactly what is the most important aspect of each item. However, a writer with the talent of Margaret Wise Brown was not being didactic in her writing, but opening up an avenue for debate. Maybe some children will think that the most important thing about a spoon is not that you eat with it or that the most important thing about a daisy is not that it’s white. Margaret Wise Brown uses the brilliant text in this book to open up children’s minds, not close them.
