As I’ve been charting out the next school year for my children, I decided one of the things I’ll have each of them do is read books appropriate to their reading levels. But as I was trying to think of what they should read, I realized I was stumped.
So I contacted my good friend and most-excellent scholar, Dr. Melody Green, and beg her to share some of her expertise in children’s literature with me. Alas, Dr. Green is such a wealth of information, that we were not able to adequately converse via the modern marvel of “chatting” online.
So I invited Dr. Green to lunch with the hope that we can dig deeper into the idea of literature and home schooling.
I can’t decide what part of this lunch date is most exciting to me… perhaps eating at one of my favorite little places in town (Kelly’s Bakery), or maybe discussing children’s literature (a subject near and dear to my heart), or maybe the fact that Dr. Green and I are such good friends, that I know we’ll have a great time no matter if we actually talk about books or not.
Lunch and literature and a lovely friend. A delightful combination.
