We love books here in our home. All four of us are simply in love with books. For that, I am so glad. As a child, I was a huge book lover. I had an aunt who worked in a book store and she bought me lots of books. Birthday and Christmas gifts were easy – a book or two was always loved by me.

I was worried that my daughter wouldn’t have the same love of books as I did. Last year, I had to make her read her 20 minutes per day. But this year, not only has she become the top reader in her grade, she also has developed a love for books and reading. I am so happy.
