I often meander through the storybooks in the Target aisle, marveling at the beautiful artwork and the inclusive storylines displayed on the shelves.  I've been known to bring new books home from trips in the interest of "an unexpected gift for my child" or "doing research for work."  (It doesn't work. My wife sees right through it!)
