so-so3 ⭐ This is a brief introduction to Ralph Waldo Emerson for children. It is very well done, even though when I look at it, I think of Mr. Lincoln. There is nothing wrong with this book per se I just found it a tad bit boring.

Meh. I finished it. I don't really need to listen/read any more from the series. It didn't leave me wanting more like the first book did.
A character asks "Mom, do you think I'm fat?". Mom says everyone is unique, you're beautiful blah blah blah. Yet in the previous book and in this one much ado is made about a character's size by kids and adults and body shaming is sprinkled throughout. Does the author not realize that girls get these ideas from some of the very things she's done? I'm going to hope that this gets addressed. Maybe I'm just rushing to judgment.
Batch 3 of my cubicle haul from yesterday. 😊
Have you read any of these?!

pick#MarchIntoThe70s Day 28: A picturebook biography on Ralph Waldo Emerson. Apart from his erudite leanings, I liked how he made himself of service to his community. No task was perceived as too menial for him, as he rounded up wayward hogs as the appointed hog reeve. #CarryOnMyWaywardSon indeed. When his ideas reached thinkers from the other side of the world, his home was filled with like-minded thinkers. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-8CL
Time to try and fail at a readathon because why not. I'm pathetic XD I want to finish at least three of these, but god knows that ain't going to happen. And this small readathon is probably going to travel into tomarrow. Lmao
Did you know Paul Revere was a silversmith? Or that he was the Kevin Bacon (in the six degrees sense) of revolutionary Boston? Read David Hackett Fischer's great book for more such details about a figure who did a lot more than yell a warning from horseback.
