I love to read. I still remember when that switch flipped for me in mid-elementary and, ever since then, books have become some of my favorite escapes or breaks from reality. My love for books has nothing on my love for my kids, though. With all that they are expected to learn each year, finding pockets of time to just let them choose a book and give them time to read can be hard but it brings me so much joy to watch them book shop, find a cozy spot and dive into a book without caring about its level. I hope that they can walk away from their schooling with a love for books and the stories they tell. (They have flexible seating and get to make themselves comfy for reading and work times.) @ San Jose, California
