"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Wonder.


When I was in 5th grade, E. William Oldenburg's Potawatomi Indian Summer turned me into a zealous reader.  It fired my my imagination.  I could see, hear, and smell the woods in the story.  I understood and identified with the characters, and they weren't always the "good guys." As I read, I was in the story.

What book first showed you the wonder of reading?
