Entering the children’s room at our local library opens an entire world of possibilities to explore, especially during the summer months. My children become botanists, ballerinas, magicians, chefs, or paleontologists, depending on the day. They enter imaginary worlds, slaying dragons and taking fantastic adventures. They peruse illustrations and photographs, lost in the pages of each book.

The summer reading program at the library is a simple pleasure and reminds me of my childhood trips to the library. My eight-year-old has his own library card and takes pride in finding and checking out the perfect book. These weekly library visits empower my children to follow their dreams and imaginations – a life lesson for mommies, too.

Share with us a grand adventure today; of visions wild and wonderful where anything and everything is possible.
