Birthday!

On this date, in the year of our Lord 1904, Theodore Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. You know this person best by his pen name...Dr. Seuss.
His first children's book, And to Think I Saw it on Mulberry Street, was rejected 27 times before being published!
He wrote a total of 44 books, which were translated into 15 different languages, before he died on September 24, 1991.

His mother , Henrietta Seuss Geisel, had worked in her father's bakery before marrying Ted's father, often memorizing the names of the pies that were on special each day and chanting them to the customers. If Ted had difficulty falling asleep, she would often recall her pie chants. As an adult, Ted credited his mother "for the rhythms in which I write, and the urgency with which I do it."

Moms, what you say and read to your children does have an affect on their lives,especially the last thing they hear before they fall asleep.
What might he have written if she told him Bible stories??? Hmmm....
