ABOUT THE PATTERN
Story Hour is a nod to my love of all things books. Growing up, it was a treat to use the library card catalog, to sign my name on the checkout card, to go on the occasional trips to the bookstore (I grew up in the 90s so it was mainly B. Dalton, Borders, or B&N), to smell a brand new book. I shared a room with my siblings throughout my childhood so it was common to find 10-year-old me sitting on the lid of the toilet seat for some quiet reading time 🤪
