I didn’t intentionally set out to query a picture book about sustainability during Earth Month, but here’s hoping it’s kismet.

When life becomes chaotic, I stand in my yard and observe the grandeur of the night sky. You don't have to travel far to experience awe. WHEN DADDY SHOWS ME THE SKY encourages kids to find adventure in their backyards!

Literacy is a civil right. Period.

I curated my first booklist for youth in 1999, and I've been going ever since. R.M. Englehardt said, "Once you read a book it becomes a part of you forever”. And I think that's what I love most about reading- it inextricably changes you.

My November read. Here’s to us late bloomers, late specialists, and generalists. To those of us who have felt the pressure that we started too late or to choose just one career. May we continue to baffle people with our varied interests and may we continue to see threads of connection in all things.
