books that fill up our shelves and our laps and our beds
books that teach us new things or re-teach us the basics
books bought for libraries by strangers and friends and bookstores to get lost in for an hour or two
books mastered by the oldest who knows the power that they hold and books explored by the youngest who is just catching a hint of what is found in those pages
books that take you to far away places and let you still sit in dad’s lap for the trip
That picture almost brings tears to my eyes. A perfect moment.
