By the Book

Michaela's true love is reading a book.  She can always be found with a book (or three) in her hands.  She may be reading one, and holding a couple in her lap.  She often has several going at once.  I love this about her...I was much the same way.  She has read millions of words, hundreds of stories (many more than once). 

She surrounds herself with entire worlds kept secret until pages are held back and doors are slowly pushed open.  Even when she is asleep.

 

I am submitting this photo to the I Heart Faces "By the Book" challenge this week...how could I not, when I have a girl who has such a love affair with books?

I love to see kids that love to read. It brings back so many fond memories from my childhood. I don't see as many of my students as crazy about books as I would like for them to be, so it warms my heart anytime I see a child loving books.

I was ALL about reading when I was little. I'm still partially about reading. But I'm far more lazy now, so sadly don't get through nearly as many books as I used to!

I love how you describe her love of books so eloquently! Great capture too!

This picture could have been me at her age, I was forever falling asleep with my books. Great capture!
