This wonderful young man has been surrounded by books from birth. He is now 10 years old and an avid reader who reads well above his age level. Young Master J is a child of the digital age and is at home on a tablet or at a computer. It is a delight to see him choose to read a book over playing a game. He makes regular use of the library and will be a bibliophile for life. I wish him endless hours of happiness as he continues his page-turning journies through fact and fiction.

The importance of just this, books from birth, cannot be emphasized enough. ❤

Scarface Claw! My son loved the Hairy McClary books too. Reading is such a great bonding activity with kids and sets them up to discover worlds beyond ordinary imagining.

I grew up in a family of readers. Of course, there weren’t the digital distractions then and we didn’t even get a TV until I was in high school. When our girls were young, we read to them all the time. I imagine they’re more into the digital, as it’s difficult not to be pulled in these days, but hopefully they still enjoy reading a real book. I know I’m still surrounded by piles of library books at all times. 🙂
