      I know I’m repeating myself but…I just love the Captain No Beard series…from the first minute I saw it. The art work is so colorful and draws you into the stories. One of these days, I’m going to win this…I just keep trying. I have a new grandbaby now who’s coming along as the older one grows out of this age group.

      I love to share books about siblings with my kinder-bears. This year, we have five new babies coming. We’ve heard lots of stories, both fiction and nonfiction, but the one thing we are learning is how special it is to be a role model.

      Reading is such an essential part of life, so loving to read must start early, and loving to read begins with books that are written and illustrated well, with fun stories that stretch the imagination or touch the heart strings or make a child think. My five kids are now raising their kids and as a grandma, I love sharing a book still, holding a grandkid on my lap and laughing with them over an adventure.

      I believe that reading any childrens book allows kids to believe in anything. It allows their imagination run wild & opens the door to endless possibilities! Reading helps a child understand the wide variety of culture, kindness & hope
