Don't give up. I believe in you all. A person's a person. No matter how small. - Dr. Seuss

118 years ago today, Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) was born.

Dr. Seuss hustled to get his first children’s book published, but it was a struggle. Before he was one of the most famous authors in the world, he faced constant rejections from publishing companies, 26 to be exact. On the day he was ready to burn his manuscript and leave writing behind forever, he received his first offer.
