Could be the book you loved the most, the series you daydreamed about, book that inspired you, fascinated you, your comfort read…anything.
And why.
I LOVED the Anne McCaffrey Pern books. I would walk around daydreaming about new adventures set in the books’ world. The Dragonsong books really connected my love of music with my love of fantasy (and animals).
My third-grade teacher read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe aloud during class. I was transfixed. I devoured the rest of the series before fourth grade and my fourth-grade teacher gave me her personal copy of The Hobbit. As soon as I was done, she had to convince my mother to let me get an adult library card so I could check out the rest of the series. Nothing could stop me.
May the gods eternally bless Miss Howard and Miss Johnson for their wisdom and generosity.
