Literacy-both textual and visual-was the passion he preached, in the most loving, uplifting way. He loved Shakespeare and Nikki Giovanni and Eloise Greenfield-especially her poem "Things." He didn't recite so much as sing the lines of poetry he shared, and with children, he always held out the book-even though he knew every word by heart-so they would make the connection between the phrases he spoke and the words on the page.
