The Great Amazing Book Show

Stories are fundamental to the way we think and see life. They broaden our experience adding other perspectives to our own. Stories are equipment for life, the fabric of our imaginations.

Literacy is the skill we're trying to develop. Reading and writing are difficult challenges. My hope is to share stories here that spark interest in reluctant readers motivating them to go find books they'll want to spend a little more time with. Reading is easier to practice when you like the book.

Skill with words is important, but without values, empathy, and understanding, it really isn't worth much. Stories carry these little packets of value. It's how the wisdom of the past is shared with the future. It's the hope that these younger, newer versions of ourselves can have a little more wisdom than we've had and hopefully take on life more prepared to handle all of its terrible complexity.
