The challenge for today: "favorite childhood book."
I had a whole series. The Little House collection by
Laura Ingalls Wilder. These books were gifted to
me when I was about 8 years old and I devoured
them, reading them over and over again. I think I
really became attached because we moved so often
and live in the Prairies, though we are in Canada!
I so loved the series when it came out on tv as well.
I intended to keep my set for my children but we
had a house fire when they were babies and it
was one thing that did not survive. Years later,
I found the collection again but updated covers
and in a really pretty box. My kids also read all
of them and it was fun to compare how our
"Long Winters" were when I was young and
the kids were little. Even now, in the middle
of this Pandemic, I'm often thinking about how
they coped with illness, weather and isolation.
Makes for a good read and truly a reminder
of where we came from and where we're going.
What was your favorite childhood book?
