Why a #Book is a Great Way to #MakeAMemory this #HolidaySeason

A place to buy a book to make a memory this holiday season As many of you know, I lived with my godchildren and their parents for four years. In that time, my godson and I read many books to each oter. When he was 3, I read to him. During his favorite books, you'd almost swear he could read them himself because he knew the words by heart. When it came time for him to learn to read, a couple years later, he read to me. Sometimes struggling with the words but once he mastered reading on his own, he became as voracious a reader as his mother.  He is way ahead of his grade level in reading. I'd like to think that I played a small part in this. I was happy to make a memory while sharing the love of reading and books.

If you have a little one who loves reading or being read to in your immediate or extended family, please consider buying a print book. Why is that important. Print books can be touched and held by both reader and listener without fear.  Children, especially the male version, often do not have an ingrained respect of books. So while it is being taught, print books often suffer in the process. A dropped eBook reader could result in a lot more damage than a few torn pages or covers, which is bad enough in this author/book lover's eyes. 

Another reason to buy a print book is they can be wrapped by the giver. When it is unwrapped, the giver can see the absolute joy on the receiver's face. You could go to a brick and mortar store and look through thousands of books but may I suggest you start your search online with these authors  who have taken the time to come together and offer their children's print books for you to browse through. They hope you will find something that is perfect for your little one. If not, they hope you will find what you are seeking elsewhere.

I sincerely hope that you are able to make a memory with a child this holiday season and throughout the coming years.
