Kids are more thoughtful than they’re sometimes given credit for, and they should be allowed to browse and sample and explore. Who cares if they don’t understand a book they read in 6th grade? They’ll read it again later, perhaps, and then all will be illuminated. After all, you can read the same book every three years and each time your life experiences will make you see the book differently.

from Kids Should Read Whatever They Want, Whenever They Want (via bookriot)

Overheard in the library on many occasions: "Put that book away. It's too hard for you". Wish I could say to the adult: "At least let her try it out!"
