At our awards celebration, we watched a slide show of photos related to Usborne. I kept meaning to send in some pictures, but I never got around to it. While watching the show, I kept thinking how I have so many pictures I’d like to share.

So I’ve decided to join the “Wordless Wednesday” gang and start posting an Usborne picture every Wednesday. I’ll kick it off today (even though it’s not yet Wednesday), in honour of Family Literacy Day. Here’s a pic of my 5yo reading to his 3yo brother.
