I Love Singing, And I Came To

Sadly I Don't Sing. I Missed It For A Long Time, But My Daughter Emma Said Something Wonderful When I Was Feeling Blue One Day: "mom, You've Just Found A Different Way Of Using Your Voice, And That's With Your Books." In A Way, She's Right. It's Just A Different Way Of Expressing What I Feel About Music, Individuality, Art And All The Things I've Always Loved.

When I Read To Children, I Try To Become The Characters. It's Great If You Can Make A Separate Voice For Each Character. Sometimes You Can Lower Your Voice With Excitement Or Get More Intimate About It: You Can Lean Forward And Engage The Children As A Narrator Or As A Reader. It's Particularly Important That You Find The Voice That You Want To Use For Each Character, Because Then Children Can Imagine That Person As You're Reading Aloud. And Of Course, The Illustrations Help Enormously.

Miracles, Contrary To Popular Belief, Do Not Just Happen. A Miracle Is The Achievement Of The Impossible, And It Is Only When We Put Aside Out Greed, Anger, Pride And Prejudice So That Our Minds Are Open And Ready To Accept It, That A Miracle Can Occur.

I Don't Think I Have The Image That Say, Judy Garland Has, Or Bette Davis.

And I Think As Long As A Song Has Beautiful Lyrics, I'm So Happy.
