My Hero

[Via: 30 Dr. Seuss Quotes to Live By]              

Thanks to Alex whose pin caught my eye this morning on Pinterest.  I haven't found a button yet to place here on the blog, but if you'd like to follow my boards on Pinterest, this link will take you to them.  Update: found a button and added it to the sidebar.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on this day in 1904.  JJ and I unknowingly celebrated the birthday of one of our favorite children's authors last evening, when we watched the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra's Notes Alive! production of My Many Colored Days.  While I found the animation (from 1999) dated, we both enjoyed the text as read by Holly Hunter and the music, which was composed by Richard Einhorn.  You can hear two of the movements from the piece here and here, but I highly recommend finding the dvd at a library and enjoying all the "days" in their various moods.

What is your favorite book by Dr. Seuss?
