Books here, books there, books everywhere!

.
Wherever I look, whenever I turn around, I find myself surrounded by books, and of course, by stories. And this is simply great!

We celebrated the International Book Day and Languages Day last Saturday; many of the schools I know and I usually "story-visit" are hosting their own book fairs (great for them!); La Feria de Libro de Buenos Aires has opened its doors to visitors of all ages and nationalities; and Buenos Aires has been declared "La Capital Mundial del Libro."

What a lot of great chances to inspire those around us with books and stories! And what a great chance to get together and READ! Do it with your kids, friends, students, colleagues! Do it with everybody!

To celebrate reading, and books, and stories in this special month, here go a few quotes on the topic: food for thought!

So long!

"Some books leave us free and some books make us free."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Some books are to be tasted; others swallowed; and some to be chewed and digested."

Francis Bacon

"Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body."

Joseph Addison

"No entertainment is so cheap as reading,

nor any pleasure so lasting."

Stories in the Fields

Last Saturday we shared an "unplugged" version of a storytelling session in the open: "2011 Dynamic E.C., Reading Thinks and Story Fields bookfair for kids."

We had a great time, sharing stories in the sun, surrounded by a beautiful park with magnificent trees and birds, and a great audience.

I want to thank Romina Muse from Dynamic English Centre, Karina Gimenez from Reading Thinks, all the people who helped around all morning, and all my friends, students, and former students who were with us on this very special event. Thank you all for your generous donations! I'm sure our students from special public schools will be delighted with their "English Libraries."

Hope you enjoyed the stories,

keep them in your heart and soul,

till we meet again,

and share some more!

So long!
