“Not all who wander are lost.” – J.R.R. Tolkien Tolkien's quote reminds us that exploring is exciting and valuable, even if we don't always know the final destination. Exploring can be done in a number of ways! Getting lost in a good book is certainly one of them. Today's theme, Explorer, is letting us remember that it's okay to get a little lost sometimes, especially in the adventures found in our favorite stories.
