sure hungry caterpillar is great but don't miss mr. seahorse who travels around, encouraging all the dad fish caring for the babies and eggs
A page from Mr seahorse, which reads: But before long, Mr seahorse met another fish. "How are you Mr. Tilapia?" Asked Mr. seahorse. Mr. Tilapia couldn't answer. His mouth was full of eggs. "I know, I know," said Mr seahorse. "Mrs. Tilapia laid her eggs. Now you take good care of them...you must be very happy "

i loved "good one" (india donaldson, 2024). it could fit somewhere alongside aftersun/janet planet. or in a series about terrible, ordinary men. also A+ orange titles.

toni morrison's 2004 commencement @ wellesley:
But I’m not going to talk anymore about the future because I’m hesitant to describe or predict because I’m not even certain that it exists. That is to say, I’m not certain that somehow, perhaps, a burgeoning ménage a trois of political interests, corporate interests and military interests will not prevail and literally annihilate an inhabitable, humane future. Because I don’t think we can any longer rely on separation of powers, free speech, religious tolerance or unchallengeable civil liberties as a matter of course. That is, not while finite humans in the flux of time make decisions of infinite damage. Not while finite humans make infinite claims of virtue and unassailable power that are beyond their competence, if not their reach. So, no happy talk about the future.
