I love stories about families; most especially I love stories about families who like each other, and work together, and play together. I love reading them aloud to my children, so they can savor other childrens' childhood adventures and the love they share with their families.
Young children need stories that water the garden of their childhood. Life is hard enough; books should be a safe haven for children. Fortunately, there are many wonderful novels of families written in yesteryear, still in print, that are as magical today as when they were first published.
Over the course of the next couple of months, I'll feature some of these wonderful older stories that our family has read aloud, as well as some written more recently. (You can read about our most recent family story read-aloud in my last post featuring The Moffats.)
Stay tuned.
