Overheard in the library today: a little boy, about eight years old, telling his mom: “Libraries are here because authors have stories to tell. And non-fiction is here for people who want to learn things. Different kinds of stories.” 😍📚 #librarylife#childrenslibrarian
#Writinghistoryforkids
I write about the past for kids to show them that every generation of humanity has faced challenges: ice ages, war, plague. Our ancestors survived.
Humans are good at challenges. We are not good at boredom.
Books show kids how to never to be bored, too.
The power of school libraries and the amazing librarians who run them should never be underestimated because school libraries change lives! #TLChat#FutureReadyLibs
