“Reading aloud ushers us into a third place, a safe room. It’s a room where everyone involved: the reader and the listener, can put down their defenses and lower their guard. We humans long, not just for story, not just for the flow of language, but for the connection that comes when words are read aloud. That connection provides illumination.” – Kate DiCamillo
