C.S. Lewis said, "We read to know that we are not alone."

When I was provided with an advanced copy of Pam Allyn's Best Books for Boys, I thought how pleased C.S. Lewis might have been to read the book!

Boys may not always have the opportunity to learn to read and practice reading with this connection-making ideal in mind, given the way we have constructed reading in schools. But there's a great deal of hope, Allyn assures us.

Somebody recorded my family's Passover Seder this year. I wasn't able to attend because I was by my dad's side in the hospital.

However, my family recently listened to the recording and transcribed just what my 8 year old son Griffy said...and I was able to be a part of his thinking and the event and truly appreciate my son's gifts.

Listening to the recording brought tears of joy, happiness and pride to my eyes.
