💯 STORY CHALLENGE
She had the Power and I Wanted it with All my Heart(Day 47)
Reading was magic to me and still is
My best friend was learning to read. She could turn letters into words. Words made stories. I wanted that power. I wanted to do what the big kids did.
Stories were fun. Story time meant feeling safe, cozy and loved. I snuggled closer to my mom when the troll came out from under the bridge grumbling “who’s that tripp-trapping over my bridge?” Safe in my dad’s lap in the reading chair, when the big bad wolf huffed, I huffed, and when he puffed, I puffed.
Even before I understood the words, stories meant comfort and adventure. I couldn’t get enough.

A book-loving naturist before the age of two, I haven’t changed much in half a century.

I am a library enthusiast and I dance with a royal python named Chloe. I’ve always loved stories. It’s about time I start telling them.
