<div style="margin-top: 40px">\n  <h2>\n    My Story\n  </h2>\n  \n  <p>\n    I have a superpower. I go places.<br /> <img style="margin-top:0px; margin-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;vertical-align: top" width="350px" align="left" src="https://littlereads.us/images/OANYEQ0.jpg" alt="kids reading imagination image" /><br /> <!-- <img style="margin-top:0px; margin-right: 30px; vertical-align: top" width="250px" align="left" src="https://littlereads.us/images/03.jpg"> -->\n    \n    <br /> Utopias, dystopias, future time, past time, alternate time, dungeons with dragons, androids and superworms, new galaxies, universes, multiverses. All are just a book away.\n  </p>\n  \n  <p>\n    I want to pass this superpower to my daughter. So I read to her.\n  </p>\n  \n  <p>\n    We go to the library, hang out there, color there, read books there. And bring home a lot of books.\n  </p>\n  \n  <p>\n    I even signed up for the <a href="https://www.sccl.org/About/Staff-Posts/August-2015/1000-Books-Before-6">1000 books before 6</a> challenge. I tried the book provided to track read books, but wanted a more convenient digital option. And I have forgotten the books she loved (and I loved to read) when she was 1,2,3&#8230;<br /> So I went looking in the wild, for a way to track books. I found a few &#8211; but none of them catered to the young ones&#8230; you could not track when and how many times you read the same book.\n  </p>\n  \n  <p>\n    So I decided to scratch my own itch and develop a rash. I mean, an app which is simple, colorful, easy to use, which can track the books I read to her and show me that data in pretty charts. So after about 6 months of development, here is <a href="https://littlereads.us/?utm_source=gmail&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_campaign=intro1&#038;utm_term=littlereads&#038;utm_content=signup3">LittleReads</a>. </div> \n    \n    <div style="margin-top: 40px">\n      <h2>\n        So please tell me&#8230;\n      </h2>\n      \n      <p>\n        What do you think about <a href="https://littlereads.us/?utm_source=gmail&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_campaign=intro1&#038;utm_term=littlereads&#038;utm_content=signup4">LittleReads</a>?\n      </p>\n      \n      <p>\n        Can you use it and tell me what you think?
