The Books I've Read Most Often to My Children

Ever since I was a boy in elementary school (when my dad would insist that I check out biographies when we were allowed to make our weekly book selection) I have realized the importance of books and reading. Passages, chapters and books have informed my thinking, changed my perspective, and given me tools, skill sets, and knowledge frameworks that have made me a better person. 

By reading to my children early and often, I hope that they too discover the doors that books can unlock.
