Step back in time with us as we visit some of our earliest reading memories. Some people grew their love of reading from cuddles and the sound of a loved one's voice, while others clung to books against threats of deprivation - greedy and starving for words. The common, abundant thread through these stories is "imagination." Flashlight Memories will call to mind your childhood reading memories through essays and poems of humor, drama, strength and perseverance.
This is a delightful anthology filled with the experiences of those who remember when they fell in love with books. I couldn't help noticing that for many of us, the book siren called during those long summer vacations. Makes me wonder if kids' summers are so jammed-pack now, they'll never know the joy of an entire day, curled up with a good book, bare feet dangling over the chair.
