Ready, Set, GO!!

It's time to step away from the Kindle, and the last Fifty Shades, and pick up some high quality children's literature.

I went to library today, a place I haven't been in 4 years (!!), to renew my library card and pay any late fees. A dollar later, I'm browsing the children's section to find books for my challenge. After searching and searching by author, I realized that the books I need are clearly marked with a sticker that classifies the winners of the Caldecott Award--my job just got a lot easier!

Eight books later, I'm practically skipping out of the library! I love reading and I can't wait to get started on my challenge of reading a book a day.

I was fortunate enough to find one of this year's honor books AND one of the earlier Caldecott winners. My first two books, which I'll be posting about a little bit later, are Me...Jane by Patrick McDonnell and Finders Keepers (1951) by William Lipkind and Nicolas Mordvinoff.

My first books...just waiting to be read.
