Tell us your Imagination Moment!
“I have always known how important reading is, not only for yourself, but especially important to children of all ages. We have three children ages 8, 6, and 2. All three love to be read to. Our daughter will even read to our two sons. Not only does Grant, who is only two, get super excited when a book comes, but so do his sister and brother. We all curl up together on the couch, making sure everyone can see the pictures, and read the book together. It is wonderful to know that all three children love to be read to and it also gives us a chance to have family time together. I am extremely grateful for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and the blessing that we receive every month when a book comes to our mailbox!
“One of the most endearing times in our family is when we started receiving books written by Anna Dewdney. Our first book was “Llama Llama Red Pajama!” Our little Grant thought this book was so funny! He would laugh and laugh saying Llama Llama. Several months later, we received “Llama Llama Mad at Mama” and this one was equally as funny and he enjoyed it tremendously. One day after reading this book he looked up at me and said “Mommy Jommy! I love you Mommy Jommy.” Not only do the words sink in but he starts to associate rhyming words too. To this day, my nick name for him is “Mommy Jommy.” It is such a thrill to see and experience your child grasp knowledge and run with it.”
