Tonight I read a book I like to a child I like. Actually, it's a book that I love and a child that I love, but I'm assuming this is still an applicable way to celebrate the holiday. 

My sister Anne, is reading Anne of Green Gables so I read her a chapter. First of all, reading Anne of Green Gables aloud is very satisfying because you get to say all of Anne's dialogue in overly dramatic yet absolutely sincere intonations. Second of all, reading Anne of Green Gables to my sister is particularly delightful to me because when I was younger my mom would read to me every night before I went to bed. Once we read Anne of Green Gables we had to read Anne of Avonlea and then Anne of the Island until we had made it all the way through to the books that aren't even about Anne or about Anne's children but about her children's friends. 

Anne became a real role model and a secret friend. Every book I've read has become a part of my being. Some more than others. Anne is one of those more than others.

So, if you have not read Anne of Green Gables or if you have not read Anne of Green Gables to a child that you like, I would highly recommend that you do so earlier than your earliest convenience.
