Did you know that January 28th is Family Literacy Day?
Reading has always been a huge part of my life, books were some of my best friends growing up.
I remember the excitement that would accompany a book fair or a trip to the library and all the possibilities it would offer.
Would it be Goosebumps or Babysitters Club?
Or maybe something completely new this time.
My family didn't have a lot of money and we didn't go on fancy trips, or grand adventures, but I did, immersed in my books I traveled to every corner of the world ( and many other worlds too). That`s the magic of reading, it can transport or transform you. It can terrify, uplift, encourage, teach, mystify, hurt and heal you. To me, the written word is magic.
