The Ogress and the Orphans, Kelly Barnhill

In my mind as a primary teacher, I view learning to read as the foundational skill that allows all others. I’m not proud of it, but I say these exact words to my students regularly, “if you don’t learn to read, you will always be treated like a child.”

Dammit, I have a vintage coat just like that, it’s my favorite winter gear and now I’ll be mocked for wearing it… these a-holes ruin everything.
