"THE FIRE OF LITERACY IS CREATED BY THE EMOTIONAL SPARKS BETWEEN A CHILD, A

BOOK, AND THE PERSON READING. IT ISN’T ACHIEVED BY THE BOOK ALONE, NOR BY THE

CHILD ALONE, NOR BY THE ADULT WHO’S READING ALOUD

—IT’S THE RELATIONSHIP WINDING BETWEEN ALL THREE, BRINGING THEM TOGETHER IN

EASY HARMONY." — MEM FOX
