August 9th is National Book Lovers Day. Naturally, our celebration includes the littlest literati.
We asked the HuffPost Parents Facebook community to show us their kids reading beloved books. All of the photos we received make one thing clear: a child in the midst of a great read will remain reading -- no matter where in the world she or he is.
