Every night Leisel Memminger would dream, in every dream, she would see
her brother and it would turn into a nightmare. So, her father would come and
console her, making sure she was okay. This was their nightly ritual.
One night she had an accident and her father started to change her
sheets, but while doing so he found out she was the Book Thief. Her first book
fell out from under her mattress. When he asked her if it hers she replied, “It wasn’t always mine.”
So they started a new nightly ritual, they started learning how to read.
Hans already knew how, but he wasn’t very good. But either way he would always
find a way to teach Liesel something new.
I find it so cute that her adoptive-father would sit with her all night while she slept just to make sure that she was okay. I love the fact that she's adopted and that he hasn't know her for that long, but they have this unbelievable bond.
