Book Making Addicts
My kids love to make books. In fact, I don’t even try to conserve paper anymore. What’s 500 sheets a month compared to cultivating a love of creative writing, right? (relax, 500 is a slight exaggeration!) Since they were little, my girls have been putting picture books together–letting me write the captions till they were…
