Dr. Seuss' Letter to the Children of Troy, Michigan



In 1971, Marguerite Hart, a children's librarian in Troy, Michigan, wrote to many celebrities and political leaders and asked them to send back inspirational messages to the children of her town. 97 wrote back, among them Vincent Price, E.B. White, Pearl Bailey, Douglas Fairbanks, Isaac Asimov, and Pearl Buck. You can read them all at the library's website.

These are fantastic, and what a slice of history. How I remember reading my first book, and how I loved reading when I was a child. We used to ride our bikes to the library and fill our baskets full of books.

Cool, I like Trudeau's. Dr. Seuss was a genius you know. Read Dr. Seuss, but also read Kierkegaard. That's the advice of your good friend, Ryan S.
