Walter Dean Myers’ lesson to children: Read
Walter Dean Myers was named the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature in the US in January. And

He says: “I talk about reading as a vital part of the lives of everyone and how a lack of reading competency will adversely affect [children’s] lives.”
