Is there anything like finishing out your Masters studies and then the next day reading a book to your nephews' TK class? The ending of my schooling journey is just the beginning of theirs. Their first full year of being in a classroom and school is nearing the end, as mine did also. So, what better way to read them a story, and in some ways for both of us to close out our own chapters, and also surprise them and enjoy the experience. It put a smile on my face.
In case you're curious at all, the book I read was 'Adrian Simcox Does Not have a Horse.' It wasn't the first one I found or anything, rather I had to go through a few and did some brainstorming before coming across this one. I also didn't want to choose just any book to read- I wanted one with some significance and meaning. One day while I was searching the library webpage, I was curious to type in 'empathy' and this book was one of the first to come up.
I was intrigued and interested to check it out. Immediately, I loved the pictures that were like artwork with eye catching color, as well as the message. Yes, it was revolved around imagination and creativity but also understanding and empathy. This was the book that I would read to my nephews' class!
I love the symbolism of it all - a beginning and an end. This book looks amazing, def want to check it out from the library now. Thanks again for being a Mystery Reader sis! So special to have you partake in it.
