A row of old, not particularly pretty books in whose pages the entire world is hidden. When I open these books, I discover textures, shapes, sounds, colours, objects, and perhaps even countries, little people, animals and all sorts of ideas that spark my curiosity and make my heart beat.
When I see the word “reading” I always get a strong sense of the word “relating”. I want to continue to learn to read, in my own way, and for the rest of my life. How about you?
