"As a child I felt that books were holy objects, to be caressed, rapturously sniffed, and devotedly provided for. I gave my life to them--I still do. I continue to do what I did as a child: dream of books, make books, and collect books."
~ Maurice Sendak
Such a blessed obsession!!!
ReplyDeleteDo today's children still feel like this, I wonder.

I was taught to respect books and I teach my children the same values. Lovely, thank you.
