“The time to start reading to a child as soon as he can sit on your lap.” - Angelo Patri

Since this post is pretty short, let’s end off with a meaningful poem.

The mind of a child is a beautiful place,
An Eden where many things grow,
A garden of beauty where sheltered by love
Grow flowers in row upon row.

The mind of a child is a wonderful place
Where wishes and dreams are quite real,
And kittens and puppies and gingerbread men
Can talk and can actually feel.

The mind of a child is a mystical place
Where character grows like a tree
And children become either better or worse
From actions of you or of me.

- Herbert Parker
