We all like happy children, right? Even though the summer promises happy, carefree children, sometimes we end up with cranky, I’m-so-bored children. Nothing wrong with boredom, except when it gets on my nerves. Thankfully there are children who love to read; thankfully, I gave birth to such children. A trip to the library cures all. This summer we grabbed a book list from Surrey Libraries to help my oldest daughter choose novels that are age-appropriate. She loves graphic novels and can spend hours poring over the diaries of dorky or wimpy children, but I want to expose her to other types of literature (including some of my old favourites!)
