Children's books forever!

On her Christmas wishlist Anissa expressed a desire for a beautifully illustrated edition of The Secret Garden. At 23 she still maintains a love for the books she loved at 9. That's my girl!

One discussion in the house a few weeks ago centered on my own library. She told me she would donate it. "Libraries are so personal," she reasoned, implying that my tastes do not match hers, adding that she would have no room. Robert intervened; there would be at least one room in their house dedicated to books he insisted. OK, I said I will leave the books to Robert then to make sure they stay in the family.
