She heard the same voice
before she ever arrived,
reading and reading
her big sister’s voice,
kindergarten booklover,
reading and reading
see how she listens
and looks toward the pages
—a reader is born.
My granddaughters: Scout, age six, reading Bible stories to Micah, age three months
lit bits and pieces 
Love this!!

Scout’s an amazing reader. Off the charts. She takes a stack of books to bed with her when she sleeps over here. Once my son found one of his theology books in her bed.

Yes!!! Wonderful. Lullaby and Kisses Sweet from Lee Bennett Hopkins was a perfect board book. Do you have it? Also if you look in your email, sending a couple of poems my newborn grands loved. A special favorite is Frog by MaryAnn Hoberman. Along with Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening.
