You’re never too old to
revisit your favorite childhood books. I remember the excitement of going to
the library to check out my very fist book. Arthur reminded me “Having fun
isn’t hard when you got your library card.” And I finally had one, signed on
the back with a mix of capital and lower case letters because I had yet to
learn how to write them all. At bedtime, I would read the adventures of Junie
B. Jones to my mother, asking only for help on the words I didn’t know. Now, the
whimsical rhymes of Dr. Seuss still bounce around my head and the colorful
illustrations in “A Very Hungry Caterpillar” are forever emblazoned in my
memory. My parents even bought me “Oh, The Places You’ll Go” and “Did I Ever
Tell You How Lucky You Are?” as high school graduation presents. As a
young adult, I still crack open my favorite children’s books and smile as I
read them, feeling as though I'm a kid again.
