A love of children’s literature was inspired years ago in a university class taught by Dr. Marilou Sorenson. Each week she would walk into the classroom with a library cart full of books that she would share with us. We all looked forward to hearing her teach.

It is our desire that the same joy of reading that we found in that class years ago you may find as you open the covers of a book and read to your children. That they may someday say of you:

You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be–
I had a Mother who read to me.
