Fun Summer Reading The kids are out of school, and the first official day of summer is June 21. Summertime reading is one of life’s great pleasures! Adults can be found poolside, at the beach, in the park, or on airplanes headed to their vacation destinations reading everything from nonfiction self-help books to lighthearted romance novels. Students on summer break can finally enjoy the luxury of choosing their own reading material instead of worrying about completing class reading assignments. If you or your child are looking for some book suggestions, check out these two options, both written by Cherokee County authors. Learning By Living: A Collection of Poems, by Zafira Hudani, covers topics such as nature, people, God and spirituality, holidays, and life lessons. Those who are intimidated by the thought of reliving their experiences in past high school or college literature classes, trying to decipher epic-long prose poems, dense language, complex rhyme schemes, or stanzas full of complicated literary devices need not fret. Hudani’s poems are very accessible, straightforward, short musings based on her personal experiences, which she hopes will inspire readers to take a closer look at their surroundings and see things from a fresh perspective. Walter, by Sara V. Robinson, is a children’s book based on a true story about a dog that experiences his very own coming-of-age story after jumping over the backyard fence of the only home he has ever known, getting lost, and eventually ending up at the pound. Will Walter ever find his forever home? You’ll need to read the book to find out. This bilingual edition contains both an English and Spanish version of the story. Animal advocates of all ages will appreciate how the author explores the issues of pet abandonment and responsible pet ownership.
