Growing up I was never much into reading, nor was I an excellent student, but I always had a passion to create. Sometime in college after changing career paths, one or two times too many, I decided my calling was to help people and create change. Teaching pulled me into the world of unrestricted imagination and passion for learning. I became who I was meant to be, surrounded by five year olds. While some adults caught up on the newest murder mystery novel, I was steadily growing my children’s book library for not only my students, but myself. As time passed, I was rewarded with my own family where my love of books reflected onto my children. We spend multiple days a week at the library and always bring home more than we can carry. Most nights, my kids beg for one more book or one more chapter. Happily I submit, as I was hoping they’d ask. Down the road, I hope that my great grandchildren will be eager for one more read of my book.
