Meet some old friends of mine!

"You may have tangible wealth untold,

Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold;

Richer than I you can never be,

I had parents who read to me."

- S. Gilliland

I just finished reading an assigned book for Teaching Language Arts, "Honey for a Child's Heart." This book reminded me how truly thankful I am for all those little silly stories that both mom and dad read to me as a kid! They didn't take Jeremy and me on far away vacations, but they definitely took us to far away worlds through the amazing avenue of books. I didn't realize at the time how blessed I am to have parents that were willing to make reading a priority in our lives. Here are some of the best books we read in those days....

I can't wait to share them with a class of my own!
