LitWord Favorite Read-Alouds by Star WRAD Author Amy Krouse Rosenthal!

LitWorld asked Amy: What would you miss most if I couldn't read or write?

Amy: That's a bit like asking me, what would I miss most if I couldn't breathe?! :) I'm incredibly enamored by-- and attached to-- the act of reading and writing, just as I am to my habit of breathing.  If I couldn't read/write/breathe, I literally wouldn't be here... wouldn't be here to offer up these very words... wouldn't be here at my computer writing books and things... wouldn't be here on this earth inhaling and exhaling and taking in the wonders of this world.
