I don't think children's inner feelings have changed. They still want a mother and father in the very same house; they want places to play.
One rainy Sunday when I was in the third grade, I picked up a book to look at the pictures and discovered that even though I did not want to, I was reading. I have been a reader ever since.
People are inclined to say that I am Ramona. I'm not sure that's true, but I did share some experiences with her.
We didn't have television in those days, and many people didn't even have radios. My mother would read aloud to my father and me in the evening.
