Imagine two literacy professors at the National Book Festival in Washington, DC. It is Saturday, September 28, 2007, and there, on the Capitol Mall, are numerous grand tents as if for the circus, shining white in the clear sunlight of a perfect fall day. Milling around those tents are literally thousands of families and groups, a perfect snapshot of the diversity that makes up our American culture. Laura Bush has organized a picture perfect event that has the excited air of adventure at a theme park. BUT (and this is the most perfect thing) it is all about BOOKS and READING! Well, we were pretty excited, too.
