I was that little girl at the library every single Saturday. I still feel at home the moment I walk through those doors. Happy #nationallibraryweek to every library and librarian that ever made a kid feel like the whole world was available to them. 📚

To every teacher who has shown up, poured out, and made a difference, we thank you. The lessons you teach go far beyond the classroom and live on in the lives of your students. 🍎

April is National Poetry Month. A good reminder to slow down, read a poem, and let it speak to you!

Sharing one I wrote that’s always been meaningful to me.💖
