​"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library."

Day Twenty: Today's post is shared by Sonya. Sonya is an impressive eleven year old that I am fortunate to teach. Her depth of knowledge and the desire to learn is infectious. If you need a book recommendation, she has one for you!  

"I love books. For me, books are a window into a different world. I spend rainy days alongside the Fairy Godmother, solve the mystery of the libraries alongside Mr. Lemoncello, and learn about the making of a spindle with the witch. I love to hunt for lessons woven through each page, admire the tapestry that emerges from each story. The unique lesson that is in each book, each story has me laughing, crying, and smiling along with the story. I sometimes feel like I'm watching a movie, as the characters dance across the page. Books are a necessity to me. The moment I get home, I usually find my way to the couch with a book under my arm. They make me happy, floating away from physics and science that say that you can't fly. My imagination soars next to Dumbo, believing in him every step of the way. And when the little blue engine gets to the top of the hill, I'm there waiting for it. I sneak along the rebel lines with Emma Edmonds, and sail the seven seas with Ms. Artemisia Fitz-Willowby Weather-House. What makes me happy? That's hard to choose, since I have a library to choose from (no pun intended) but definitely, books."  -Sonya

Take a moment and think about a book that you read that you just couldn't put down. Notice how that makes you feel. 

Thank you, Sonya for taking a moment to share something you love.
