25 Years of Celebrating Our Little Reader Gone Too Soon

It’s hard to fathom that our Claire left us almost 26 years ago.

And that this May we will be celebrating the 25th annual Claire’s Day festivities.

Check out the most recent Claire’s Day newsletter.

We hope if you are in the NW Ohio area in early May, that you will gather the children in your life and come join us in the celebrations!

Julie’s Quotes

“I call myself a wordkeeper, or a keeper of words. I enjoy words and looking at them on all sides… Words are magnificent… They form rhythms of living in meaningful prose… It is the force of my desire, my wish to make myself understood, that powers these words.”
― Virginia Hamilton
