Last night Joel was perusing the books on our dining room bookshelves. Housing mostly non-kid, nonfiction books, this bookcase contains such titles as Asian Kitchen, Helpful Hints for the Handyman, Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ, and How to Photograph Your Pet.
Occasionally a few homeschool books from the "curriculum" show up there.
I was engrossed in a craft project and wasn't paying attention to 4-year-old Joel as he searched our home library.
Suddenly he exclaimed with the excitement of one who has just found the last pair of clean underwear in a basket of unfolded clothes, "This is it! This is the one! This is absoLUTEly the book I've been looking for!"
He now had my attention. I turned toward my little towhead.
"Show me, honey. What book is absoLUTEly the one you've been looking for?"
He stretched out a mustard colored paperback with black letters.
"Up from Slavery?" I asked. "By Booker T. Washington?"
"Yes!" he raved. "This is it!"
