 Multi-Tasking Woman Sally Bayless brings her personal touch to making joyful readers of children and teens. Through the Magic Door is an online bookshop for children’s and teen’s literature, but it’s a lot more just a site for finding a particular book.
“There are so many ways to enjoy a book: by understanding its narrator, discovering interesting beginnings and endings, and listening for poetry in the books.” glows Sally, who has worked many years teaching children to read.
Sally and her husband, Chuck, both lifelong bibliophiles, found it difficult to find information on classic and recently written books for their three children.
“We decided to develop our own website where you could not only purchase books but also read reviews and summaries that went deeper than a commercial plug.” Through the Magic Door enables parents to search for books by title, subject (what if you need a book on learning to share, for instance). setting (you might want to find a book set on the ocean…). “ We recommend books to interest every reader from the avid to the reluctant.”
As a busy multi-tasking mom, wife, business owner, volunteer and pianist, Sally understands the necessity of making book selection straightforward and efficient. Her site is enchanting and easy to navigate, but one extraordinary aspect of Through the Magic Door: if you phone the company, you can enlist Sally’s personal help with finding the perfect book.
“ I always love the detective work that goes into matching the right book with the right teen or child. I speak with a lot of grandparents and even teens themselves. We encourage readers to share what they think about the books as well.”
