I love the idea of promoting literacy and the love of reading in youngsters. Children are our future. Giving them the tools to succeed in life is important.
I read to my niece from a young age - and instilled the passion for books and reading from the age of 4 or 5 - and she now has a great collection of books to read. I'm starting to give her books to expand her reading world now as a teenager; and she's 12 and in high school.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm no longer around in this world, I've told her, my book collection will be hers to care for and enjoy. :D
So, the passion of collecting will be going on strong in the family :D
Wow, sounds like you're a wonderful Auntie. I don't live close enough to read to our niece and nephew, but I've given them many books as gifts over the years.
