Found Felix

Today I was going through my closet, and found my original copy of Letters from Felix.  It brought back so many memories going through the book and taking all the letters out of their pouches.  At dinner I reminded my dad of the book and he even remembered reading it to me and my little brother before bed. It is amazing how many strong emotions are connected with childhood books. I am not sure if it is solely the book that creates this feeling, or if it is the memory of reading it with people you love.  Any way a random thought for a wonderful childhood memory.

    I had a similar experience when I was pregnant with my first child. My parents saved very few picture books from my youth, so one evening, I made the pilgrimage to a great bookstore for kids: Toad Hall in Austin. I ended up spending more money that a grad student should shell out at one place, but it was all in pursuit of those memories of reading favorite books over and over again with my parents and siblings.
