Poorly taken webcam photo of my newest, Matilda. I’ve read nearly all the Roald Dahl books I could get my hands on but she has stuck with me through all these years, and will continue to do so. Her life basically mimics mine, well…at least the first half <3

Fairy Tales painted by Mary L. Gow, 1880

Quote reblogged from cardboard castles with 508 notes

I believe that as writers and educators, we have a shared responsibility to give teenagers every opportunity to encounter everything that books can do.

This is the business, right? It is not just reading for the sake of reading. Literacy is important. Literacy is vital, but literacy is not the finish line. Literature is not just in the business of See Jane Run. Literature is in the business of helping us to imagine ourselves and others more complexly, of connecting us to the ancient conversation about how to live as a person in a world full of other people.
