Seaside Story -- Wall Art and Home Decor at Steve Henderson Collections
Reading on the Beach
Developing a lifetime reading habit is something that starts easily and beautifully when we're young, and we share a good book with someone we love. Seaside Story joins a mother and her child for one of those moments that makes lifetime memories.
Seaside Story is available at this link as a canvas, acrylic, metal, wood, poster or framed print, as well as an image on everyday products and home decor items -- like the coffee mug, beach/bath towel, book tote bag, home decor throw pillow, greeting card, phone case, or t-shirt shown below -- at Steve Henderson Collections
Do people read much anymore? One wonders, with constant admonitions by experts to Make Reading a Lifetime Habit, or, Develop the Practice of Reading to Your Child.
It all sounds so official and educational and not in the least fun, along the lines of instructing us to eat particular foods because they're good for us, without any concern that they appeal to our taste buds as well. When we focus so much on having to do something, we forget that this something, like reading, may be worth doing simply because it is good in itself. Reading is fun.
Or it should be.
Admittedly, reading in a circle of others, with each person taking a turn stumbling through the passage, isn't particularly fun, or natural. Neither is answering endless workbook questions on some innocuous passage about Bob's dog. For too many people, this is their exposure to reading -- steamed broccoli without any butter to be eaten without salt. It's no wonder that, when they don't have to, they don't. And because they don't, they not only lose ability to hone a fundamental skill, but they miss out on one of life's easily accessible, affordable pleasures.
Reading Is, or Should Be, Fun
Seaside Story shows reading in its pristine form -- a mother a child, at the beach on a sunny afternoon, enjoying a good book together. It's like a picnic, with words instead of food.
