I got the green light to do an after school book club for 3rd graders at my school. Very excited to create something to further encourage their love of reading. If you would like to help support this by providing a book for a student, here's the link

I believe in the transformative power of literature: how it connects the head and the heart. It connects us to the author, even those long dead, to the words on the page that speak to us as if by magic. And how it, ultimately, connects us to ourselves and the world around us.

It was simply that she was only fully alive when she devoted herself to her singular ability to draw, and when she drew she was naturally always alone.
- Tove Jansson, creator of the Moomins, was born on this day in 1914
