Book Quote Thursday and a Thank YOU!

My Sweet Friends,

Thank you for your sweet, beautiful messages and words of love.  I'm overwhelmed. I'm absolutely unworthy but have every intention of doing all I can to measure up and pay it forward...

It's back to blogging I go.  It's a new year filled with new things to write about.  As with other years, I've been thinking of ways to make blogging fun and had an idea.  When I post on Thursdays, I will include a quote from a book (children's, historical fiction, young adult, etc.) 

Go ahead, have a guess at what book the quote is from...everyone who answers correctly will be put into a blog drawing for a blog candy prize at the end of the month.  Two people will win.  This week's quote will be the only one for January.  I will post the winners next Tuesday...

I happen to have been thinking about this book lately.  I love it so much.  Rereading it to my children recently, I recommitted to being more like Lucia...

"...She had no dots or stars.  She was just wooden.  Her name was Lucia.  It wasn't that people didn't try to give her stickers; it's just that the stickers didn't stick..."


A penny for your thoughts?
