Releasing all of the new books at work has made me more inclined to read more children‘s books in the meantime.
This is an adorable book about what the sun does for people all around the world ☀️; looking at it possibly being read for the summer reading kickoff! 📚
pickA history book that's not a history book. Matyszak asks “What would it be like to spend a day in ancient Rome?“ The book allows you to step into the shoes of 24 (one for each hour of the day) Roman citizens and experience the world from their perspective. As entertaining as it is enlightening, and better, I think, as an audiobook than it would have been on paper.

I love humorous essays strung together in a memoir. And, much like British humor, Southern humor is very much my thing. My only problem with this is that it's definitely a product of its time, so the author doesn't shy away from throwing insults like the r-word in the middle of what would be an otherwise funny joke.
What a life! Her books made me a reader, and I am so grateful.

Day 28: Here are #BannedBooksIveRead. I met tagged book‘s author in New York through the kind introduction of children‘s lit historian and scholar, Leonard Marcus, whom I am proud to call my friend.
This book follows 7 real kids from around the world as they go about their typical day. #childrensbook
