See Spot Run!

Apparently as a child I would read out loud anything I could and then my older brother would explain what I had read

Just children stories my father used to buy us stories every weekend they were like 5 or 6 pages long but it was always something i’d look forward to

Danny and the Dinosaur

My mother allowed me to select a sizable stack of early readers from her BofM club. I remember Aesop's Fables, a book about superstitions, a story about the sun overpowering the wind with warmth. A story about Pilgrims. I was 4. I was still ordering books as MG student.

Summer, sunscreen, sand, Spider-Man.

I got taken to the library every week. Seven books I was allowed, but this wasn’t enough as I read them all too quickly so the librarian allowed me to take extra books out. This is before junior school so probably around year 1 and Year 2. I was mad on books.

Books were always a part of my life but the memory I cherish most is my mom reading Charlotte’s Web out loud to me in one sitting. We both cried when Charlotte died & her babies flew off.
