Summer Reading: Bridging the Gender Gap: An afternoon with Laura, Anne and my boys
For as long as I can remember, I have loved books: Little House on the Prairie, Anne of Green Gables, Misty of Chincoteague, The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew… Kansas, Prince Edward Island, Chincoteague, the little brown house…Laura, Anne, Diana, Maureen, Mamsie, sweet little Phronsie. These are the stories I loved, the places I wanted to visit, the characters I wanted to meet… and wanted my children to know and love as I do.
But I am the mother of two boys, and these books, these places, these characters, they are for girls! They are for other mothers to share with their daughters… or are they?
