Subject: ? Maybe Doing Some Good ?


I hope all here are doing well .

Thursday Demarkis, my 13YO Foster boy and I went up to my place to feed and cuddle my dogs, run the usual errands, I realized I had quite a pile of read books I wanted to drop off at the new (to me) Little Free Library I found and as I was looking for new books Demarkis asked if they had any books he might like and could he take a look please ? .


CERTAINLY , come right over here and have a look take any that appeal to you .

He chose two, 'A Bug's Life' (cartoon movie a while ago) and another, interesting book "Tea Cakes For Tosh" by Kelly Starling Lyons, beautifully illustrated in water colors by E.B. Lewis .

A good book containing history, family over several generations dating back to slavery and at the end even a recipe for tea cakes (sugar cookies) .

Demarkis asked if he could read it as I drove, why sure ~ he reads out loud and poorly but got every word and the story and says he wants to keep it .

Looks like I'll be getting the boys a book case soon ~ Shirley doesn't enjoy reading and it was a real fight to get her to allow me to set up a book shelf in the house before the fire, most of the boys didn't want to admit they ever looked at the books but every now and then one would disappear, I'd told them that any book there was theirs to keep if they wanted .

Several of the local Little Free Libraries near me have the lower shelf dedicated to children's books so it looks like Demarkis (and hopefully Kenjay soon) will now begin reading for enjoyment, not just because they're told to at school.....
