Kirk House Publishers is proud to present the Reminisce Line of reader-friendly books. These books are meant to be easy to read, have a complete storyline, and help readers remember a time long past and to reminisce. It is for people like me and my mom that LOVE to read. This is why I started this line of books. She would get frustrated and distraught because reading no longer brought her joy. She tried and failed to read books with more complex storylines and smaller type. Unfortunately for her, there were no other books like this in the library. My mom would run her fingers over the pictures to remember a time long past. This book contained illustrations and larger print. It was altered from the original book in a good way.
It was Little Women by American novelist Louisa May Alcott. In her Senior Living facility library, she discovered a book that she loved. I remember only a few times while growing up that my mom didn’t have a book, magazine, or word puzzle in her hands-she had an insatiable quest for knowledge. Born in 1926 to a family with sixteen children, she never finished high school, but she had a thirst for knowledge and reading that thrived throughout the years. In those stories, I went to far-off places and had amazing adventures.
It was a time when my friends were playing their first computer games, but not me-my nose was always buried in a book.
But, of course, this was before reading was cool like it is now. When I was young, the greatest joy for me was reading books.
