We have started it and can’t wait for spring break so we can really dive in. Noah read Peak and LOVED it. I have a stack of books to share with you at the park. Have you read The Shack???? can’t wait for a park date soon.
I picked up a few of the classics for the boys and they are enjoying those..Tom Sawyer. We are reading First Samuel to help Noah with Bible quiz. how exciting is this book for boys who love swords and battles.

i love that we have the same thought- that our boys will remember as grown men- the importance of reading, the sounds of our voices, and the love we’re trying to foster. like you, my one wish for them is to want to actively read to their children some day.

thanks for the tip- we’ll be trying out the trenton stewart book.

“Kensuke’s Kingdom” by Michael Morpugo
“Breadwinner” by Deborah Ellis
“The Watsons Go To Birmingham, 1963” by Christopher Paul Curtis
“The Giant Rat of Sumatra” by Sid Fleischman
