The Smarter They'll Grow.

The more you read,

The more you know.
The more you know,

The smarter you grow.

Yes, the smarter they'll grow.

I may not do art projects or go all out on what should be educational activities, but I am teaching my littles the joy that is found in reading.

Between overflowing bookshelves here at home and the small hometown library we visit here each week.

"How many books can I check out?" I remember my mom telling me about asking the librarian when I got my first very own library card.

"As many as you want." She said and it was as though the world opened at it's seams for me then.

"How many books can I check out?" He asks me the week he finally got his own card. Once he could write his own name was my rule.

"As many as we can read!" I told him and he beamed at me with joy. And while his checkout numbers haven't increased much since getting his own card, I think just knowing he has that card and that power, is something for him.

The more they read, the more they'll know. The more they'll know, the smarter they'll grow.

Yes, the smarter they'll grow.
