Matilda

This is Liz's tattoo from Roald Dahl's Matilda, illustrated by Quentin Blake.

I grew up in a household that really valued reading.  I remember sitting on my parents' bed each night with my brother and listening to my dad read aloud a book to us.  Matilda was one of the first books we read together that I then took on my own and read too.  We read tons of Roald Dahl together.  Now I teach elementary school and this book still speaks volumes about the importance of reading, education, and learning.
