Beginning next week, I’ll be posting contributed summer reading lists for families every week until Labor Day. A month ago I invited artists, artist-parents and families to send me their top 10 suggestions for great summer reads, and I’ve got a fantastic collection started. One book from every list will be stocked in the Open Field tool shed (the Walker’s version of a lending library for books, backyard games, radios, etc), so come read together on our grassy backyard!
