I could totally relate to this story. I didn't have a lot of friends as a young kid either. I moved a few times, but I was always known as brainy, which usually meant dorky. I was so not popular. I completely understand what it means when someone says a character in a book felt like a friend. I remember the Golden Books, too! I saved all of mine and gave them to my daughter. And I bought her a bunch of her own. I hope she saves them all and passes them onto her children. Wow! I could totally relate to this story. I didn’t have a lot of friends as a young kid either.

We had a lot of trips to the library, which worked for me. I'm sure as you unpacked after each move that the books made it feel like home. I enjoyed this essay and getting to know Booking Mama and how reading has impacted her life. How fortunate were you, Julie -a Golden Book everytime you went to the grocery store!

I can very much relate to that. When I moved to Virginia and had my first wave of homesickness hit, my mother told me to go to the library and check out some books. That is the best advice.

I remember those golden books. My nana inspired me to read, she would give me those books as gifts and she was the first one to get be a dictionary and an encyclopedia set.
