School librarian, lover of 1980’s music and sloths.

I suppose I should introduce myself, seeing as how I’m new here. I’m Anna. I’m an elementary school librarian in the Midwest. My passions are connecting kids with books they love, inclusive books, 1980’s music and all things sloth.

Just a reminder that the books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are BOOKS FOR EVERYONE - and you can never, ever be too old to read them, and to love them!
