Wish List by Gerri Brousseau

Here we are on November 29th, and it’s holiday time again. Yes, you know it’s officially the Holiday season when they light the Christmas tree in Rockerfeller Center. This year I’m excited to be able to totally spoil my new granddaughter. She is at the age where she loves lights, so it is delightful to watch her gaze at the Christmas tree. She will only be 4-months old at Christmas, so she is going to be getting a few age appropriate learning things as well as some things she needs. Of course, I will be adding to her library. She has quite a few children’s books, but I will add one or two Christmas stories and I’m looking for a children’s book about Hanukkah for her too.

Would you imagine that an author would not encourage the love of books to young readers? I think that would be the greatest gift I could ever impart upon any child, let alone my granddauhter. I recently heard of a young mother of a five-year old child who does not read to her child. The child has those books that are read by the pen as it passes across the words. Where is the bonding? Where is the stretching of a child’s imagination by asking questions? Where is the planting of the seed of the love for reading?

I have a Christmas Wish List to make it easier for family so they now what I would like to receive for gifts this year, and you can rest assured there is at least one book on there.

Do you have books on your Christmas or Holiday Wish List? Will you be giving a book as a gift this year?
