First, it was picture books like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Maggie-B-Irene-Haas\/dp\/0689500211%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIMLKPQSGTYE5YV6Q%26tag%3Dei-wish-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0689500211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Maggie B.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, then, as we got older, it was Judy Blume\u2019s chapter books like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Otherwise-Known-as-Sheila-Great\/dp\/0142408794%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIMLKPQSGTYE5YV6Q%26tag%3Dei-wish-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0142408794\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Whichever book she read, we always looked forward to that time of day\u2014every day\u2014and grew up with a love for reading and words because of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put a twist on the classic bedtime stories Mom used to read to you this year and host <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mom-Time<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stories<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Even song lyrics work.
