“Born to Read, Read to Bond”

Dearest Baby Skyler,

Congratulations on being an official member of our National Library Board! =D

Mama just found out today that our National Library Board is on a drive to encourage children to read. Called “Born to Read, Read to Bond”, the campaign encourages parents to bring their little ones to the library and read with them. With the launch of this campaign, even newborns can be members of the library, so we quickly registered you so you can have your own library card. You were also given a “reading bag” to put all your books in.

Papa and Mama are really glad that our National Library Board is encouraging even babies to read. The Woodlands Regional Library even has lovely areas where parents can read to their children!

Papa and Mama love reading, which is why our Study is cluttered with a whole assortment of books. Mama enjoys comics and quirky stories. One of Mama’s favourite books is “The Princess Bride” by William Goldman. Papa enjoys thrillers and adventure stories, and one of Papa’s favourite authors is Tom Clancy. Of course, Papa enjoys reading all sorts of comics too!

Before Papa and Mama started dating, when we were just good friends, we realised that we shared a love for “Calvin and Hobbes”, a comic strip about a young boy and his tiger friend. This remains one of our favourite comics to date because of the wit and creativity of Bill Watterson, the author. In the strips, Calvin and Hobbes also share an incredible bond that makes this comic strip all the more endearing. This is one of the books we would like to share with you when you are a little older, Baby Skyler. We’re sure you’ll come to love it too!

We’ve been reading to you since you were only a few weeks’ old. Papa and Mama hope that you will enjoy reading as much as we do.

Grow well, Baby Skyler, and may you come to love the lyrical and magical world of books!

Papa & Mama
