In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March has been designated as Reading Month. To celebrate and encourage reading, we are asking local officials, residents and WKTV staff and volunteers to tell us about a book that they enjoy. Happy Reading!

Today’s reading selections comes from Katie Favale, who along with being a forensic science technician for the Michigan State Police also has been serving as the mayor of the City of East Grand Rapids for the past two years.

Book: Frenchman’s Creek
Author Daphne du Maurier
Genre: Historical Fiction

Book: The Dot
Author: Peter H. Reynolds
Genre: Picture Book

I recommend the “Frenchman’s Creek” because it is a wonderful escape back in time. It has romance, intrigue, pirates and a love story – a great and fun read. “The Dot” is one of my favorite children’s books as it encourages expression and creativity in everyone – truly a family favorite.
