Read Across America Week

I've been in the Literature Zone for recent postings, so I must have sensed something in The Force....

This is Read Across America Week, sponsored by the National Education Assocation. It coincides with the celebration of the birthday of Dr. Suess on March 2: http://bit.ly/anVU9Z

Today we'll start with Barney Beagle Plays Baseball. It's been Gabe's favorite since forever. Another reason it's cherished? It once belonged to another little boy...my husband and Gabe's dad. Our parents were so great to save many of our favorite books, and today we get to share them with our own son.

Some families have artwork to pass along to future generations. Others have jewels or real estate.

We have books.

...I think we're the wealthiest of them all.
