This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Minnesota chapter.

Take a break from hitting those textbooks and wander over to the Peik Children’s Literature Library, or Andersen Library, where you can cozy up and get nostalgic with the book you used to read every night before bed, examine the original copies of Caldecott Award winners or discover your new favorite children’s book! I found “Balloons Over Broadway” by Melissa Sweet, a fun story with unique, multi-medium illustrations.

Lauren's favorite quote (right now) is, "Give me some wifi, a pair of heels, some coffee and watch me make the world go round." HCXO!
