The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared

by Alice Ozma

Description

In this heartfelt memoir, a daughter reflects on the extraordinary bond she shared with her father through years of reading aloud together. What begins as a bedtime ritual grows into an eight-year promise, creating a private tradition shaped by beloved stories, laughter, discovery, and the changing seasons of childhood. Set against the world of a Philadelphia-area elementary school librarian, the book celebrates the enduring power of books to connect generations and provide comfort, guidance, and shared adventure. Warm, candid, and nostalgic, it offers a moving tribute to family, literacy, and the lasting influence of being read to.
