MORE THAN JUST WORDS

These books.

My brother brought them from my parent’s house. Some of them were my mom’s when she was little.

The Bobbsey Twins is being held together by a duct tape spine.

A few of them have my great grandma’s inscription inside (the sweetest lady I ever knew, and also my namesake).

These books hold more than words- they hold memories of family read-alouds all crammed onto one bed. Memories of being read late into the night by the light of a flashlight. Memories of birthdays and car rides and piles on a nightstand. They have traveled miles and decades and have been held by so many hands.

These books are more than just books,
and I am thrilled to have them now and read them with my own children.

To open these new worlds and go on new adventures simply be opening a book.

And to pass this love onto the next generation.
