Collecting and sharing memories enrich our lives. We think Gloria Houston’s books are
perfect examples of this idea. Her
latest book, Miss Dorothy and Her Bookmobile, continues this tradition of
preserving an important memory from her childhood that shows how one person can
make a difference. Miss Dorothy
dreamed of being a librarian in a big brick building, but instead becomes a
librarian via a bookmobile that takes books to children in the Blue Ridge
Mountains. One of those
children becomes an award winning children’s author, Gloria Houston!
For anyone who believes in the power of books, this story
holds great importance. We had the
privilege of meeting Gloria Houston, and she told us of others who were touched
by Miss Dorothy’s bookmobile (you can read their letters in the
book). This book is a great
discussion tool for children at home and at school. We hope you enjoy hearing about Miss Dorothy and her
influence on countless children!
