Today is International Children’s Book Day. It is celebrated on or around April 2nd, as that is the birth date of Hans Christian Andersen. (Did you know he is the one whom originally wrote The Little Mermaid and The Emperor’s New Clothes?)
Bubbles still continues to demonstrate a love for reading and we’re happy to indulge her in it. She will sit down and read to herself a few times each day, and then we’re usually recruited to read or be read to at least once or twice. I had hoped we’d make it over to the library today to check out a couple of new books as a way to celebrate, but the day kind of got away from us before we could make it over. Instead we’ll honor the day by reading our current favorites a few extra times. I hope you’ll have a chance to read with your kiddos today, as well!
