to be 10!

My daughter just turned 10. She is the second of my three children but the oldest daughter. Something happened to her yesterday, it was like she really changed from being my little girl to a big girl. Perhaps it was just a birthday girl on display for her family- or maybe when we hit double digits something inside of us changes.
In honor of her birthday I asked 10 special women in her life to give her their most favorite book. These are not books she might read today but instead lovely novels that she might encounter as she matures. Her grandmothers each gave her books from their college days that were life altering for them. I hope that when she grows and they are long gone she will find a connection to them in her reading. She is very proud of her books and has named the collection "library of 10".
