Description
Summary:The author has developed a lifelong passion for reading and writing, but the intensity of that passion was not always as strong as it is now. First, and critically important his curiosity was recognized and validated. Equally necessary, it was then nurtured. Yes, by her parents, but also by the many teachers and librarians who, one by one, helped shape a person who believes that reading and writing and thinking and learning are huge parts of what it means to live a successful life. As the grown-ups in the author's life encouraged her to probe and question what she was learning and reading, she hopes her books do the same for young readers. She is grateful that her own children have wonderful teachers and librarians in their lives, educators who appreciate learners' inquisitiveness and hand them book after book that nurtures their love of learning.
