One of the things I looked forward to the most before becoming a parent was passing on my love of reading to my child. I dreamed of snuggling on the couch, in the rocking chair, or in a little tiny bed, dressed in warm comfy PJs, reading book after book after book. It is one of the few glorious dreams of parenthood that have not been overwhelmed by the reality of daily parenting stresses. Mari and I read every night before bed, at least 3-4 books – she dressed in her one-piece fleece sleeper, me in old lounge pants and an oversize t-shirt.
We live for those moments; quiet, safe, emotionally-secure, warm, comfortable, HAPPY.
What would happen if your child didn’t have that security? What if your child did not have pajamas, all their own? What if they had no one to read to them? Or if they didn’t even have a book all their own?
It happens every night, all over the world. In foreign countries. In the United States. In your state. In your neighborhood!

Looking forward to this!! I have a lot of new books that aren't hardback so hopefully will be lighter to ship!
Also - I'm still watching those PJs at Wal-Mart - down to $5.00 a pair right now!
