When my daughter was young, reading with her was my favorite pastime. I believe that spending quality time with a child, delving into stories; turning the pages of a book and inspiring them to use their imaginations is an activity to be cherished. I am very excited to be part of a company that “sparks children’s curiosity, inspires their creativity and instills a respect for other cultures and a love of the planet.” This generation of children needs books. With a book, you use your senses: touching the pages, smelling the book, seeing beautiful illustrations, and my favorite: listening to music with singalong CD’s! Childhood goes by in a blink of an eye; spend time reading with children and “step into a story!”
