Joy is Reading for a Shared Imagination

Thank you for the invitation to share, I find joy in reading! Sharing stories with my children at bedtime, lets us experience another place and its characters together. I love how they ask for more when I finish, like they don't want to leave. Also joy in the reading I do as I learn to engage with our own school community...one passage written by the late Richard Wagamese was particularly inspiring for me:

"You can't test your courage timidly. You have to run through the fire, arms waving, legs pumping and heart beating wildly with the effort of reclaiming something vital, lost, laid aside or just plain forgotten. When you do that, you discover that we shine most brightly in community, the whole bedraggled, worn, frayed and tattered lot of us, bound together forever by a shared courage, a family forged in the heat of earnest struggle."

My children are adults but that was the favourite part about having kids. Recently, we went to a baby shower and were asked to bring a book that we loved from our childhood.  My daughters and I immediately chose the same 3 books that we all remembered so fondly.  
EnJOY your bedtime reading with your children!
