What a fun time it was to be a part of my local library's "Hats Off to Reading" party! There were 3 special guests in total (me being 1, a police officer, and a teacher). This "crazy hat" extravaganza was to create awareness to the children that everyone reads, and that it is important to keep on reading!
Parents, it is important to read to your children daily! Even if they don't read yet (or very well), we can still be great role models to them! I like to bring my 2 year old daughter to the library. In fact, I try to take her there at least once a week or more. Places like these, and I have said this many times before, have to be supported. I do NOT want our libraries to become things of the past! It is such a calm and peaceful place to be.
At this event, I had the privilege to read one of my favorite books, The Spider and the Fly written by Mary Howitt and Illustrated by the great, Tony DiTerlizzi. I picked this book not only because it is a fave of mine, but just like The Loneliness Cure (written by myself), it has a moral. I do enjoy a good moral story now and then!
To make things more interesting, of course I had to wear a neat hat and match my clothes to the book I was reading. haha. That is how I roll! The kids enjoyed themselves, and I had a blast! Until next time, take care!
