My Mother's Voice By Izak Last When I was a child my parents both read to me on a regular basis. I am thankful that they took the time to do so, it certainly has helped my cognitive abilities in nearly immeasurable ways. Today, I am an avid reader, devouring fiction and non-fiction titles alike. I have a healthy appetite for literature that includes classics, sci-fi, fantasy, and even young adult novels and children’s books. I attribute my interest in such a wide range of books to my mother...

Start Reading to your Baby Today! You don’t have to wait for your baby to get be a certain age to begin reading children’s books to him or her. Start now! They will benefit from the images, sounds, and pattern of your voice. The image above is my son-in-law reading to my grandson Miles at 1 month old. The book is full of musical instruments, bright colors, and animal-like characters. At what age did you start reading to your children? Which are some of their favorite books?

In Cuba, in the 1950's, the New Year was welcomed by making a scarecrow out of old clothes and magazines and burning it just before midnight. It symbolized deleting the previous year. Also, families honor the tradition of eating twelve big juicy green grapes. Each grape representing one month of the New Year and the hope for a rainy season and therefore a good harvest. Do you know of other interesting ways people in the US (or other countries) welcome the New Year? Thanks for sharing.
