Books are so critical to understanding the world around us...and the people that enter our lives. Even a world of fiction and fantasy has the power to deeply motivate and influence change. Growing up...my love of reading fiction and entering these different worlds full of people and places that I would never see...taught me more about how to navigate life...and what it means to feel all kinds of emotions...that just my own experiences alone wouldn't bring. It also shaped me into someone who loves to dream and picture things on a grand scale. Nothing is impossible when you remember to use your imagination. <3

This was my experience growing up too! I agree, imagination is so important. We don't know what kind of world we are raising these kids to exist in, what jobs we are preparing them for, but in the end, if they are able to be literate and creative, I feel like I've gotten them where they will need to be, no matter what.
