We had to release Henry today to the heavens to play with our other boys, who I know sent him to us. I know he’s romping around pain free.
Thank you, baby boy, for bringing us so much joy. Job well done.

Circulation matters.

And I’m just wondering how this book would be seen by RFK, Jr.? And those gathering a database?

“While there's no definitive, nation-wide ban on "This Is How We Play," it has faced challenges and removals from schools and libraries in some areas due to its content…”

This one is going to ruffles some feathers.As it should.Good discussion and prep for reading to young children. It’s a great book to have in every home and classroom. An awesome guide on how to understand, not ignore, racial bias. No blaming, just learning, and how to move forward, not hide it.

Taking a break from banned children’s books today.

How about a natzee move from our Liar-In-Chief and his minions?

This is the list of the 400 books banned at The US Naval Academy.

How can such a wonderful book be deemed inappropriate?

I would have this book in my classroom. I know it would be a favorite.

Today’s banned book.

Homelessness? Somehow I don’t think this is the real reason this book was challenged and banned.

Love is love is love is love.

Circulation maters.

Resistance comes in all forms. For the love of books we can “save” our libraries. Alia, the librarian in this story, risked her life to save her library. We are not asked such a thing. Yet.

So check out banned books today.
