Stories Woven in Silver Quotes

“Great books wield this power. Far beyond simple means of entertainment, well-told stories are instruments for the shaping of minds and hearts. Books that linger in the imagination offer virtues that we can grasp, savor, and turn in our hands. They form our first concepts in bold brushstrokes of what it means to be courageous, heroic, and good. And in the best circumstances, the tales tucked onto our shelves point to the most magnificent story of all: the story of a hope that endures in the face of the deepest darkness.”

“Above all, approach your read-aloud time not as a chores, not as another assignment or item to check off your list, but as a chance to delight. Delight in your kids., Delight in the elegance, the beauty, and the power of the written word. Delight to overflowing in the majesty, holiness, and almighty power who invented stories and words, children and parents, sunlight, moonlight, and everything else.”
