Memorable family tradition?

My Mom read to my brother and me every night without fail. I had a hard time learning to read, but because of all of the magical wonderful stories she read to us, I knew it was something I needed to keep working at. As a mother and grandmother, my passion for reading is my delight that I shared with my family. As a professional storyteller, I get to share my passion with the mothers and children at our Teas. Just the other day, my 54-year-old daughter called, saying "Mom, I don't feel well. All I want is for you to come over and read 'Winnie the Pooh' to me." Ah, the power of stories.
