I share books I've read each week. I make lists of books I want to order from the library, or own. And I read, read, read. Some I read to my granddaughters, 4 and 6, some I read to celebrate a favorite author or illustrator's new book, and some I read because besides writing, reading is my other passion. Here are the latest books I'd like to share, ones that I think are important to know.
I am trying to read more and more books from different perspectives. That includes stories of people I've never heard of who have accomplished important things, great picture books that have underlying messages for good living, and Middle Grade or Young Adult books that will help early and late adolescents learn about themselves and others.
