Description
The perfect holiday gift for parents, readers, and communities.
A collection of essays about family, reading, and bonding with others through books. From children’s literature educator and children’s book author Megan Dowd Lambert.
This poignant, funny, and touching essay collection invites readers to consider how they bond with children, other family, friends, and students through shared reading.
Divided into 4 sections organized around themes of parenting, adoption, race, and healing, this 21-essay collection with its joyous and colorful illustrations is perfect gift for parents, grandparents, librarians, educators, and anyone who spends time with children or reading together with others.
The author's experience as an educator and as a parent in a blended family that includes seven children of various racial backgrounds (four of whom came home through adoption) adds depth and breadth to her expertise about how people read and respond to books.
"I grew up with a mother who loved to read, and what a sustaining gift that has been to me. If you are holding this book, it’s a good bet that you love to read, too. Read on, and let Megan show you how to make your love for books and your love for the children in your life add up to something special."

I am devouring this book. Lambert's perspectives on reading as a key way of bonding between caregivers and children speaks directly to my heart and my entire professional mission. I will absolutely be purchasing this and keeping it handy for regular guidance and reference throughout my work as a bibliotherapist and educator.

I was hoping to review this for Shelf Awareness, but I've run out of time. I've read just a bit of it, and enjoyed it so far; I will eventually have to read it for my own interest. I heartily endorse family readalouds, so it's exciting to see a book like this!
