Celebrating April Authors
![](https://www.thedailycafe.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_hero/public/field/featured-image/april.jpeg?itok=ryjAb929)
We love celebrating authors who have touched our hearts and minds with their words. One way to do this is to observe their birthdays. It’s a perfect way to introduce or revisit their contributions to our literacy lives.
This list will remind you of authors you already love and will hopefully introduce you to a few you need to know. You’ll find titles to interest all ages. Check them out from your local library or click the Amazon links.
