"Reading Together by Robert Broder is a beautiful story about the magic of books in the life of a little girl. Her books are silly and sweet, suspenseful and sad, serious and sleepy. They become part of her and her family. Broder masters to capture the sweet moments when the love for literature brings a family together. Soft-colored illustrations bring the story alive and make it a great book for children… and adults." —Andrea Tripke, author and illustrator"Reading Together is a love letter to families and the indelible bonds created through reading and story.” —Casey W. Robinson, author of Iver & Ellsworth"Reading Together is a love letter to picture books and the vital role they play in a growing family. The whimsical illustrations weave the story within stories, reminding us of our own favorite picture book moments and how their immersive, limitless magic begins through simple combinations of words and images." —Jenn Kocsmiersky, children's book illustrator"[Reading Together] is told in simple language so young readers will have the opportunity to improve their reading skills.
