Today I Will – Eileen & Jerry Spinelli

Jeremy swallowed.  He didn’t really believe the thing upstairs was an egg.  But… Tonight he would try to hatch a dragon. — Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville.

At least once in a lifetime, everyone should try to hatch a dragon.  In every life there’s a “thing upstairs,” a possibility that may be (a) mysterious, (b) scary, (c) impossible, (d) not believed in.  Walking up those dark stairs and hatching that impossibility may turn out to be the best thing you ever do.  Dragon eggs await.

Ask yourself:

Is there a dragon egg in my attic? Am I curious enough to find out?  Bold enough to ascend the dark stairs?

Maybe a book?

Talk tomorrow,

Kathy

    • Laura,

      Make sure you put a notepad next to your bed. You never know when an idea will hatch.
