「妹妹,來! 我唸一個故事給妳聽!」
今天是World Read Aloud Day(世界朗讀日),為孩子讀一本書吧!

Kate DiCamillo (凱特‧狄卡密歐) 是我和孩子非常喜歡的青少年小說作家,Because of Winn-Dixie (傻狗溫迪克)、The Tale of Despereaux (雙鼠記)、Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures (會寫詩的神奇小松鼠)、The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane (愛德華的神奇旅行)…都是她很精彩的作品,前三本還得過紐伯瑞文學獎。
她除了筆耕不輟,也非常認同、鼓吹大人為孩子讀書。因為一直持續為自己的孩子、別人的孩子讀書,所以她說的這些話,我都深深有感與認同。
她說:
"Again and again, as people come through the line to get their books signed, they tell me how someone read a particular story to them, and why it mattered.
And it does matter.
You people who read aloud—you are providing comfort, hope, light.
You are changing lives."
