As someone who now reads books almost nightly to my 2-year-old daughter, I wanted to share my favorite editorial, one for which I won first place in Best Column, Feature or Criticism at the 2018 Arizona Newspapers Associationâs Better Newspapers Contest, about the annual celebration of the March 2 birthday of Dr. Seuss, aka Theodor Seuss Geisel.
In 1905, a long time ago, was born a great man, though he started out slow.
This young boy, whose name I redact, was born quite young, age zero in fact.
He loved to spell and to draw, to read and to rhyme, and found himself doing them nearly all of the time.
