World Read Aloud Day

 

Today is World Read Aloud Day. A day in which we celebrate literacy and the power of reading aloud. Think back to the favorite books you read your child/children when young, or those read to you when young. Do you get a warm, fuzzy feeling? I do! As a children's book author, I am surrounded by picture books and read oodles of them, but the ones I often read my kids when they were young will always have special meaning and a true sense of heart.

Sharing stories and reading aloud builds literacy skills, celebrates the parent-child/caregiver-child relationship, and improves imagination letting readers and listeners get lost in new worlds and places to explore. What a wonderful thing!

To whom and where can you read aloud to someone today?

National Authors Day

 

Today marks a relatively unknown day of recognition for authors. It is National Authors Day today. What a concept...celebrating authors and the art of writing!

I read this day was originally established in 1928 as a way to recognize and celebrate American authors and their literary works. 

I hope this day becomes better known as a means to foster a love of reading and writing in everyone but especially in children as too many today get caught up in technology and don't simply cuddle up and enjoy the worlds within the pages of all the amazing books that exist. I could do so day in and day out!

Who are your favorite authors and/or fav books?

Taking a Time Out

My brain is cluttered and chaotic, and I don't function well in clutter of any nature:) All for good reasons, namely preparing for my oldest daughter's wedding in a few short weeks as well as a recent return to work. I am, therefore, taking a bit of a time out to focus on all that is most important in the next weeks to month. Thereafter, I will back and aim for more regular posting and interaction. Be well!
