I learned the importance of literacy and learning from my parents. While my sister and I were growing up, my parents were always reading to us, providing us with reading materials, and encouraging us to problem solve and learn every single day. Now that I am a mother, I have continued the same traditions with my daughter as well. From reading to her every single day, to finding small ways to teach her everywhere we go, there are lots of ways that I encourage her early love of reading and learning.

We each have something that makes us special and unique. Whether it is creative skills, intellectual ability or a caring or empathetic nature, every one of us has something that sets us apart. It is so important to help kids understand that they are unique in their own way, and to not be afraid or embarrassed of the things that make them special. Today’s children’s book about being yourself is a great story about an ordinary boy who learns that he is extraordinary, and how he copes with what makes him different.
