It's a great time to sit down and read a good book with a person younger than yourself. National Education Association's Read Across America Day is a na- tionwide reading celebration that takes place annually on Dr. Seuss's birthday. Across the country, thou- sands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate by bringing together kids, teens, and books, and you can too! In 1984, Dr. Seuss won an award for his contribution to children's literature. In his years as a cartoonist and chil- dren's writer, Theodor Seuss Geisel created some of the world's most famous books and illustrations, in- cluding Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Cat, and The Lorax. As adults, we learned many lessons from those great books.-- Simple things; such as if you want a better world, you have to care. You must take responsibility and speak up and show up. "UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." How we choose to live our life is up to us. "Only you can control your future. " We learned it's okay to be silly. "We're all a little weird and life's a little weird." We're never too old to learn some- thing new. We just need to figure out how we learn and go with it! "It's better to know how to learn than to know." So, be your best you. "There is no one alive who is Youer than You." LETTERS TO EDITOR POLICY Desert Messenger encourages letters from its readers.

You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go." ~ Dr. Seuss
