"I think it is a book of hope. Children need hope. You, little insignificant caterpillar, can grow up into a beautiful butterfly and fly into the world with your talent. Will I ever be able to do that? Yes, you will."
Happy 90th birthday, Eric Carle! đđŚ

"Perspective-taking not only connects our sense of empathy with what we have just read but also expands our internalized knowledge of the world."

These books changed the lives of New York Public Library librarians while growing up. What book changed your life?
For more than 30 years, and over the course of some 330 books typed mostly with one now-gnarly and crooked index fingerâthatâs right: 330 books with one finger.
"I had this long line of people, and every single one of these guys said, 'You are my childhood. You were my childhood.' You never get tired of hearing it. Itâs kind of always kind of a shock, but I hear it all the time. We captured that."
2018 Proved Black Kids Read (And White Kids Read Books With Black Leads)
"The Hate U Giveâ book and film have made it crystal clear that not only do black kids read, white kids (and adults!) will read books with a black lead.
A black female lead, at that.

"Representation saves lives."
Palaces for the people: why libraries are more than just books
Libraries are not the kinds of institutions that most social scientists, policymakers, and community leaders usually bring up when they discuss social capital and how to build it. But they offer something for everyone, regardless of whether theyâre a citizen, a permanent resident, or even a convicted felon â and all of it for free.
Doing research in New York City, I learned that libraries and their social infrastructure are essential not only for a neighborhoodâs vitality but also for buffering all kinds of personal problems â including isolation and loneliness.

I feel attackedÂ
This retired school teacher transformed his three-wheeler into a tiny mobile library to spread the joy of books to children in the remote communities of Italy.
Thereâs always that expectation that youâre always writing for a White reader. Thereâs never the assumption that youâre writing for your own audience, that you can use the vernacular because youâre writing for people who use the vernacular.Â
In episode 16 author/educator Zetta Elliott talks about the expectation of authors of color and that her goal is to write for those who donât traditionally see themselves in books.Â
Throwback Thursday to our interview with Zetta tackling the important issues that I think plague all writers of color and is something we should keep in mind moving forward with our work!

Michelle Obama loves books. So who was her favorite character as a child?
âPippi Longstocking was my girl. I loved her strength â not just her physical power, but the idea that she wouldnât allow her voice to be diminished by anyone. Sheâs independent, clever and adventurous â and sheâs clearly a good person, someone who always does right by her friends. What I loved most was that she was a girl, and she was a little different, and she was still the most powerful character in those books.â
