When I was somewhere around 9 years old I got a book called ‘Baby
Island’ by Carol Ryrie Brink. It’s about 2 young girls, ages 12 and 10, sailing
from San Francisco to Australia who get shipwrecked on an island along with 4
babies. They had many adventures and frights along the way but it all comes out
right in the end when they are all reunited with their families. I read this
book so much that the cover fell off and the binding is held together with
masking tape. I could just imagine myself there on the island with the babies.
Well, now I’m headed to an island to work with babies and
children and I’m so excited about it. Suddenly I thought about the book I read
as a kid and had to dig it out and reread it. I think I had a smile on my face
through the whole book. The book is definitely fiction but I still love it. =)
As I thought about a title for this blog I finally settled
on Baby Island because it seemed to fit me and the situation. So even if you
didn’t care…that’s the reason behind the name of this blog. :P
19 days to go!
