After the end of yet another humiliating football season yesterday in Detroit, my daughter Abby crafted this fantastic book, which she deftly titled, “All About The Detroit Lions.”
And yes, I do believe that the Lion logo on the cover is pooping a football.
“I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.” — Anna Quindlen
There are so many reasons to love children’s and young adult books (which is probably why I have more of them on my shelves than any other genre). Here are a few:
Where the Wild Things Are
The Chronicles of Narnia
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
The Snowy Day
Whistle for Willie
Bridge to Terabithia
Because of Winn Dixie
The Indian in the Cupboard
Make Way for Ducklings
Blueberries for Sal
The Lightning Thief
The Giver
A Wrinkle in Time
Harry Potter
Tikki Tikki Tembo
The Velveteen Rabbit
The one legacy I hope to leave my kids is a love for books and reading. If my son’s excitement over his new library card (”You mean they just let you take the books? Like, for free?”) is any indication, I’m off to a good start.
Word nerd. Book junkie. Slacker mom.
