I have kept my daughter’s books and now my grandchildren enjoy them.. of course we are continually adding fabulous new books to their shelves. We always look at the cover first and wonder together about what the story might be about before we open to the first page.. The reward for being a parent is becoming a grandparent with the added bonus of sharing their books with them…

always,
Missy
