❖ History

fatherhood in a positive light

share with their kids

blogger.

6. My story...
❖ http://literacytoolbox.com/
literacytoolbox/?p=1220
❖ You think your pains and
heartbreaks are unprecedented
in the history of the world, but
then you read. It was books
that taught me that the things
that tormented me were the
very things that connected me
with all the people who were
alive, or who have ever been
alive. ~ James Baldwin

7. Building a better world
❖ Books are the carriers of
civilization. Without books,
history is silent, literature dumb,
science crippled, thought and
speculation at a standstill. They are
engines of change, windows on the
world, lighthouses erected in the
sea of time. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
❖ Simply by having a book blog (ex:
Inspiring others to read)
❖ Books we choose to review
❖ Promote the work of non-profit
organizations

8. Books we choose to review

You Find Me?
