This tattoo was submitted by Haley.  It comes from Dr. Seuss’s very first children’s book from 1937, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street.

This is on the inside of my right ankle, completed by Emily at Body Art Ink in Terre Haute, IN.  The first time I ever read to kids was when I was in high school for Read Across America.  I read this book, which my dad read to me as a kid, and the kids got so into the story.  Their enthusiasm and that experience solidified my decision to pursue a degree in teaching English.
