WELCOME TO A MAGICAL ENCOUNTER

Whether in nature or in human relationships, few images are more compelling than that of an encounter; a butterfly and a flower blended together in a brief burst of color, the sun rays and a raindrop joined in a rainbow, a mother reaching out for her newborn child, two pairs of eyes held in a deeply felt gaze, two hands clasped in friendship–and surely among the most meaningful encounters, the one between a child and a book.
