Even though she didn't read or write, she valued story-telling and she made sure you learned stories in a warm and cozy manner...in her lap. I love it.nerima robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397000496676038137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413858030422713478.post-79464077477748989282012-01-23T20:10:49.863-05:002012-01-23T20:10:49.863-05:00What a great post, Nerima.

It isn't just Charlie Brown, but, a whole host of other characters and stories and ideals and ideas! <br /><br />I like to tell the story of how I first learned to love books. It was on my maternal grandmother's lap. She would hold the book and read to me, telling me some pretty amazing stories. My mom eventually pointed out to me, as a teenager, long past sitting on my grandmother's lap but remember the idea of it, that my grandmother couldn't read or write! It didn't matter. She made the time to make me believe we were reading books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413858030422713478.post-58606098232070995362012-01-23T07:04:57.423-05:002012-01-23T07:04:57.423-05:00Great post, Nerima, and I agree with every word!

Sadly Peanuts seems to have fallen totally out of fashion, but we still have a shelf-full of Charlie Brown books bought for our children 30 or more years ago. Now we're introducing them to the grandsons. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.com
