Our Favorite Children's Books

Maria Rego's favorite book


To all my book worm buddies,
     It was joyous to me hosting this last meeting of year 7. So special because I was sharing a milestone with all of you. (Retirement is a big deal!!). I missed all who were not present but I know that often times things come into our lives that can't be helped.
     I hope that you will take the time to visit/re-visit my book Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney. There are so many messages in the book and I am sure that you will connect with one or more. For me, I identified with Alice and found similarities in her journey especially in the past few years, and so I felt I had to follow her path.
     I grabbed onto the three things that one must do in one's life:
1) Travel to far away places
2) Live by the sea, and
3) Make the world more beautiful.
     I have been blessed, and feel that I have done those things. But life is ever changing and I will now make it my purpose to travel more, enjoy living by the sea, and be determined to make a difference in more lives.
     Thank you for being a part of my life because you have made a difference to me.
   
YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY HEART!!!
Much love,
Maria
