"Books are knowledge, travel is wisdom, and age is perspective." Jim Bride was my media escort in MA during my book tour. He's 87, has escorted MANY authors over the decades, including Buzz Aldrin! We worked together in 2019 for another book tour & it was such a joy to chat with him again. ❤️

“Miss Iris Davis… spends a great deal of time recovering cats with the aid of a “lassoo” from the debris of bombed house. So far she has rescued six hundred of these feline strays, 8 November 1940.“ www.iwm.org.uk/collections/...

As the parent of 2 kids with wildly different reading tastes, I'd love everyone in the kidlit community to stop confidently saying "kids want [x] books" or "kids don't want [y] in their books." Kids are people, just like adults. Their tastes are just as varied!
