There’s something about the
holidays—that warm glow from the fire, the fact that you actually get to
spend time with your kids (or your friends’ and family’s kids)—that
makes it the perfect time to curl up with the little ones in your life
and read them a storybook. Reading a totally new, beautiful, amazing
book with a child is a treasured holiday experience. And if you choose
the right book, every time the child reads it alone in the future will
bring back the memory of that time you shared.
