"It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading.   Something that will stretch their imagination—something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own."
-Katherine Paterson, Newberry Award-Winning Author of Bridge to Terabithia
