Fifty years ago, when I was home sick from school on Valentine’s Day, my mother sat by my bed and read aloud to me from Paddington At Large.
She read me the whole book. We laughed together.
It was the best Valentine’s Day gift.
Thank you, Betty DiCamillo, for reading to me.
Thank you to all of you out there who are reading aloud to someone you love.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
