I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!

There is nothing more to say: Love is Love
The Journey Continues
by Fleur Pierets
#LoveIsLove #NetGalley
Just by happenstance, I chose to read this gorgeously illustrated children’s book today. It is my anniversary and I adored spending time with this beautiful celebration of the love of two women. Their goal was to marry in every country that allowed for same sex marriage. So, children will travel the world and see the dress and customs for many wedding ceremonies.
When many children have parents of the same sex and when many also identify as gay, this book is such a welcome resource. I really loved it .
SPOILER ALERT: Just be ready when you read about the authors.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own.
