Voorleesweek

[scroll down for English]

Hallo!

Van 22 tot en met 30 november is het in Vlaanderen en Brussel Voorleesweek, een initiatief van Iedereen Leest, i.s.m. Boektopia, VRT, Kind & Gezin, Boekhandels Vlaanderen en de bibliotheken. Daar sta ik natuurlijk helemaal achter en ik wilde dan ook graag iets doen om deze Voorleesweek te vieren.

Zelfgeschreven gedichten voorlezen, dat leek me wel een idee. Twee o

Quotes by Minerva Cerridwen (?)

“In the weeks that followed, the girl learned about the many forms love could take. The Match Sticks made it clear that true love would not be defined by traditions or rules. One time, a middle-aged woman’s match even split in two to lead her to both her loves. And only a few days later, a farmer was tricked into taking a Match Stick by his wife. When it pointed at his best friend, she exclaimed: "See? I told you so! Now go kiss him and bring him over for dinner!”
― Minerva Cerridwen, Unburied Fables
