I’m Thankful for People (There Would Be No Books Without Them)

Today I’m thankful for many things, but especially for the power and pleasures of the written word

Today I express my gratitude for all the authors, editors, illustrators, publishers, readers, librarians, storytellers, teachers, and entrepreneurs who make this wonderful world of books possible.

And most importantly, I thank my parents for filling our home with books, creating an environment where reading was fun, and protecting me from that fatal belief that I should read out of moral duty rather than sheer loyalty to my own curiosities.
