Do people read kids books on Kindle? I am new to the world of Kindle. I must admit, I used to be a bit of a traditional book snob. I do like the feel of the pages turning. I like the smell. I like the cover art. I like placing it on my bookshelf after I finish it. But then I had a baby, and

I love books. I have always loved books. As an adult, I make my holiday tree out of books. (It's still small, but it grows each year.) I was the kid that filled the reading chart, filled the Book It pins, filled my library bag... you get the picture. I was, and still am, a book nerd. Being a teacher was a wonderful way to share my passion for stories. Not only did I get to read and talk about spectacular kid and young adult lit, but I got to tell stories. I got to tell stories in science class, in social studies, in language arts, even in math. I even got to write a few down as examples for the kids' writing classes. I never dreamed anyone but my students would ever read them. But recently I started wondering if maybe, someday, maybe someone else might be interested in the stories I have to tell? I was lucky enough to meet two wonderful women in the publishing world who kindly agreed to read one of my story starts and tell me if I was kidding myself that someone, someday, might actually be interested in publishing it. I mean, I think my stuff is cute, but who am I to be an impartial judge of my stories? With their thumbs up, I decided that it was time to pursue a lifelong bucket list challenge. I will get a children's book published. Someday, someone is going to buy one of my books off of a bookstore shelf.
