We haven’t even made it three months into 2023. What will this look like by December if all we see is more of the same? Our children, their educators and their families deserve so much better. #EndGunViolence

Here’s a lovely example of what emergent literacy looks like during toddlerhood. As father & son work together on a remodeling job, this little guy meticulously captures each measurement on paper. His writing is not yet conventional, but he’s already learned print conveys meaning

We're with @JodiPicoult: Americans deserve better than extreme book bans.

The message today at @rosecafechi’s first annual fundraiser was loud and clear — don’t sleep on the RoseModels™️ of Roseland. I’m beyond inspired by the work Iesha, Rebecca and their board are doing to build what they don’t see, promoting literacy and community in one fell swoop.

Isaiah Marquez-Greene, now 18 years old, survived the Sandy Hook shooting, but his younger sister, Ana Grace, was killed.

In a note to his younger self, he reflects on his sister’s legacy: “Imagining who she would be if she were still here will keep her alive in your heart.”

Thankful for the authors that share their story, the conversations that are had because of them and the Ideas that grow from them. Rose Cafe is grateful for all the connections and support youve given this last years. #Thanksgiving
