Yup, today my twin sister and I (along with Eddie Vedder, former lead singer of Pearl Jam) turn 50.
It makes me giggle to say I’m 50 because I feel as though I am lying. My body might be 50, by my mind and soul are not.
As a kid, Christmas birthdays are hard because you fear your special day will get lost in the holiday shuffle. At 50, you sort of hope it will.
Here, are some of my favorite books that turned 50 this year:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh
Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Ian Fleming
Whistle for Willie by Ezra jack Keat
Ribsy by Beverly Cleary
The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill
Rascal by Sterling North
The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
Well, it looks as though I am in good company! Have a wonderful day and a wonderful holiday season!
