I think all of my birthdays have come with books. The people closest to me know that I am a reading addict and they obligingly keep me supplied!
I took this photograph recently of my newest grandson and it occurred to me that there is no wrong way to love a book. This one makes a wonderfully crunchy sound and he wanted to get it as close to his face as he could.
I was cleaning out a jewelry box recently and tucked away in a hidden drawer were these two pins. My first real job as a high schooler was working on the summer book mobile program. Each day took us to different locations around town where kids could come and check out books and sit and listen to a story or two. On this birthday, we are a very long way from those days, but loving books? That never changes! Happy reading!
