I am insatiably curious. When I don’t know something (which happens daily because … no matter how much you learn, there is more to be curious about), I go on a learning adventure. As I’m highlighting some of my favorites from 2024, these are some of my top questions for the year from books I read.
And a picture of my daughter’s insight on Christmas Eve, as we read a bedtime story.
