story time

One of my most favorite co-workers suggested we have "story time" today. She read Old Turtle and the Broken Truth to several of us as we sat on the floor in one of the studios. She'd read, then show us the pictures, just like in kindergarten.

I really love children's books. This one, though... this one is incredibly special. I cannot even express how gorgeous, uplifting, spiritual, meaningful, lovely and inspiring this book is. I had tears in my eyes at the end. I'm sure I was as affected by her wonderful reading as I was by the text itself. It was an unforgettable experience for me.

Here's a link to the author's website, where you can see some of the amazing watercolor illustrations.

We should all have story time every day.
