Favorite children's book: I love "The Snowy Day" because it's a book about wonder, exploration, joy and above all, hope. Snow melts in your pocket and disappears. But if you're lucky, you get another snowy day, and you get to start all over again.

Favorite Children’s Book: One of my favorite children’s books is On the Day You Were Born by Debra Frasier, which I loved reading to my daughters when they were very young.

so glad you’ve come!”
