Olaf, from the movie Frozen, can’t imagine anything more wonderful than summer. Having never experienced the buzzing of bees, kids blowing dandelion fuzz, summer breezes, and his “skin” against the sand, Olaf’s imaginings and anticipation of the season runs wild. Like Olaf, I love summer! There’s nothing better, in my opinion, than toes on sun-soaked grass or beneath steeped sand. Summer is also the perfect time to find a nook outside and savor every line of a good read. This summer, I’m rereading some of the classics I’ve enjoyed over the years, a series entitled Wings of Fire by Tui T. Sutherland, and of course, my picture books in waiting. Can’t wait for my order of Dare to Dream by Lorna Gutierrez and A Book for Escargot by Dashka Slater. We shouldn’t only judge books by their covers, but my philosophy is, if something grabs your eye, hunt it down and read it! Have a wonderful summer.
