A gift of a first library

I’ve gifted to my son, Levi, his first library and over a period maintained and built upon it.  The world of children’s books is so very exciting, sometime the characters in the pictures seem real enough to jump out at you.   I’m always reading to my son, even while he was tucked away and resting safely in my womb.  Memory takes me to a place and time when he was much younger, how he would scan the colourful pages of his books and be so amazed at its pictures.  I believe books have an amazing power to lend support by creating beautiful imaginations in a child’s mind from a very tender age, as it entices them to want to be creative, to explore.  

Levi shows his love for art through some exciting and interesting pieces of arts and crafts, he also likes to make them seem more real by putting eyes on the characters.  He likes to finger paint and add brush strokes, not forgetting the making of a merry mess everywhere, including on him, with paint and water and pieces of arts and craft items littered about, but that’s art… as he understands it to be. In a true sense, I believe that shifting through the pages of his books has helped him to connect to learning beautiful things.  Seeing him express himself through learning is an inspiration to both his dad and I in this journey called “parenting”.
