One of the biggest delights in having a child is the books you get to discover and read together. Throughout the day and especially at night as we re-read her favorite books over and over, again and again, we both get attached to the words and pictures. Books have been my lifelong passion, companion, fun, and solace. For Odem, I tried to find books that she can learn from without being explained to, cheeky, funny, sensitive, and thoughtful stories that that will unleash her imagination, spark her sense of wonderment, encourage defiance, and fuel her born burning curiosity.
