Reading has always been an important part of my life. Books are magical to me. They teach me things and take me places I've never been before. They are both comforting and stimulating at the same time. I've loved to read for as long as I can remember. My memory is filled with many happy reading moments, whether I was being read to by my parents or experiencing a good book on my own. No books are more special to me, however, than the picture books of my childhood. Before Emma (my oldest daughter) was even born yet, I started collecting books for her shelves. I'm proud of her library and I'm proud to say that we read together almost every day.
My friends and family often ask me to recommend books. And trust me, I'm willing to drop everything and make a list of my favorites every single time. The most recent request for recommendations came from a coworker who asked me to suggest some books for her two-year-old son. And, the same day, I just happened to see a blog post from my local library about Picture Book Month. These two events inspired me. So, thanks Heather and Ms. Cathie for encouraging me to share some of my favorite Children's books via this blog. I'm starting a few days late, but my goal is to share a book (or author) a day for the month of November. Wish me luck.
