Interview with Children's Book Author Safari Sue Thurman
Published June 25, 2008
Is there anything else you’d like to say to our readers?
It’s been amazing to me when I’ve met many adults who were not read stories as children. This was a wonderful ritual with my mother when I was a child and more recently one my husband and I shared with our twin boys. Reading to a child is a special experience and time well spent. I loved story time at the zoo, and watching children's faces as they were pulled into the magic of a story is priceless. Watching an adult’s face when they are captured by a story is incredible. You can build warm memories with this special gift and nurture a lifetime love of reading. Please read to your child today and when they are old enough, have them read to you.
Remember the lyrics to our song:
"Reading is magic, all you need is a really good book, it’s the key."
Thanks for the great interview, Sue!
