HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

"The world is so full of a number of things,

I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings."

....Walter Louis Stevenson

Some of the pages are torn and colored with crayon, but it is still one of my favorite books. (The poems were first published in England in 1885.)

As a new year begins I think back on so many of the books I enjoyed as a child and how they began my love of books and reading.

May the new year be filled with more good books!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!

Now it is the beginning of a new year. Wherever you celebrate I wish you a very
