Read Across America

Read Across America Day is today. It’s designed to recognize the birth of Dr. Seuss and his phenomenal books. Some of my favorite books include There’s a Wocket in my Pocket, My Many Colored Days, and Oh the Places You’ll Go. To this day, I see the colors, here the rhymes, and feel the experiences. Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite authors because he knew how to excite children to read. He had an absolute solution and formula to mesmerize kids with words, and it worked. As an adult, I’m still mesmerized and highly influenced by his writings for my multicultural children’s books. So in Dr. Seuss style, let’s give readers what they want, desire, and need…rhymes, unforgettable expressions, illustrations, and a little insanity to make it all fun. Thanks, Dr. Seuss, for providing an incredible legacy of books and storytelling. As you can tell, I’m still a fan!
