My mother, Virginia, loved to read, and as the saying goes: like mother, like daughter. When I was 5 years old, she took me to get my first library card—a treasure that led to a lifelong love for reading. Our regular excursions to the library were nothing short of adventures.
When I became a mother, I read to my own children from the day they were born. It was such a lovely bonding time that grew into a natural part of who we were as a family.
