We have books in shelves, bins, stacks, and piles which I am fond of because books serve a multitude of purposes.
I am finding comfort and healing in the pages of a Henri Nouwen book (love him)
and also finding books that sometimes better express how I feel so that I can talk with my children about grief
while Henry is learning all about the body from a book he loves.
Paul is practicing his decoding
but also his comprehension
and then using books to inspire creative play.
Joe is happy to thumb through the newest addition in our vintage book collection this one from the author Lois Lenski (She rocks)
We have already started compiling our summer reading list.
