• Read to your children all of the time
  Novels and nursery rhymes
  Autobiographies, even the newspaper
  It doesn't mater; it's quality time
  Because once upon a time
  We grew up on stories in the voices in which they were told
  We need words to hold us and the world to behold us
  For us to truly know our souls
