Their imaginations are so unfettered.<br /><br />Maureen, I'm glad your girls are enjoying the Percy Jackson series. When I took Latin in h.s., I learned about the Roman gods and goddesses and their Greek counterparts. It's so interesting to read Riordan's stories with them as major players. I read that the series started as bedtime stories for his son.

Just watching them or listening to them stirs memories of secret places I played in my youth, or things that scared me half to death. Kids are great for nudging the young-me into imaginary places. Today, I call that finding material!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing , Diane!<br /><br />Francesca Q.Francesca Quartohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01593858027963099369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-58877393485793647472017-07-16T12:32:52.823-04:002017-07-16T12:32:52.823-04:00Just proves that writing ideas can come from anywh...Just proves that writing ideas can come from anywhere!
