Hive mind: Name three children's/YA books that shaped your life.
Not in the sense of teaching you skills (e.g Dr Suess->reading) but rather imparting values that stayed with you.
I'll go first: Tree Grows in Brooklyn; Little Women; The Hobbit. #cosobookclub
@estherschindler I don’t know if it qualifies, I did start reading these in my early teens, the writers I remember really causing a shift in me, were the existentialist writers. Camus, Satre, Kafka and Dostoevsky.
Also, Thoreau and Whitman.

The Dispossessed by LeGuin
Steel Beach by Varley
The Dalai Lama's Cat by Michie
YA more than children's books
