Ta Dah!: Readers Are Leaders quilt

scarlettburroughs — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:51:25 +0000

Anya of Hills Creek Quilter blog made this Readers Are Leaders quilt as a nod to her son’s love of books. She said, My son Nick has been a voracious reader since first grade. All through elementary and middle school he read everything he could get his hands on. Go here to read more.

I used the exact same adjective – voracious – to describe my daughter Brittany’s love of books growing up. Now married with a young child*, she still reads every day. I think Nick will be a life long reader too.

* My grandbaby already loves books, but so far he’s a voracous eater, not reader!
