Enjoying this nonfiction title during a quiet day at work. Did the father in this story make anyone else discontented or frustrated?

Now that it‘s over, there is a sense of relief. As much as I want to talk about victory, hope and gratitude, what comes to mind first and foremost is thoughts of peace and unity. It‘s a groundbreaking moment on many levels as we hold true to the promise and dream of fairness, equity and equality for all citizens of the United States of America. I hope that we find ourselves on surer footing. And I pray that we choose to be kind to one another!💕

MoonWitch94 I totally agree! After my initial cry, I felt such a sense of peace. Now we can get down to business & get things worked on. 💗 3y

I was quite surprised just how much I loved this. It‘s in a similar vein to Peter Reynolds‘ ‘Ish‘, but more so.

Niko loves to draw, but his work tends towards the abstract - he draws the hard work of the robin building its nest, rather than the robin itself. His family and friends don‘t get it. But the new girl next door sees the feelings in his pictures.

A sweet story about how art makes you feel (& how how you feel makes art) and friendship.

rockpools The pictures suggest that Niko is part of a multi-racial family and a diverse community. #BBRC #A2Z @LibrarianRyan @Sarahreadstoomuch 4y

#NewYearNewYou Day 16: Chloe is #CreepedOut by Adrian Simcox who keeps claiming that he has a horse when it is clear that he does NOT. It took a short trip to the more disadvantaged side of town, led by Chloe‘s mother in the pretext of walking their dog, for Chloe to see beyond lies, half-truths, and the struggling dignity of someone who has nothing but their unbridled imagination to see him through.

🎶Something in your eyes is makin' such a fool of me
When you hold me in your arms, you love me 'til I just can't see
But then you let me down, when I look around🎶

Cinfhen Bipolar Disorder is so rough. An acquaintance , someone I just know from the neighborhood lost her husband to suicide only weeks ago. She said at his funeral he suffered in silence for years as he dealt with Bipolar Disorder. He was 52😭😭😭 4y
Eggs @Cinfhen 😢😢💔💔 4y
lucifare This would be an interesting read and perspective, I have been diagnosed with BPD for years and I know it‘s a struggle not only with myself but for those who are around me. 4y

Eggs I‘m sure it would be @lucifare . According to google, Bipolar disorder @Cinfhen is a mood disorder and bpd is a personality disorder, though there are shared symptoms. What do you think @lucifare ? 4y
lucifare Yes, they can have some of the same symptoms. Many people with BPD can have bipolar disorder or depression or other mental illnesses along with it. My doctors explained to me that personality disorders are more entrenched learn behaviors and inability to regulate and respond to an environment, and mood disorders are chemical imbalances, but they definitely overlap and influence the other. 4y
Cinfhen Thanks for clarifying @Eggs @lucifare 4y
Eggs Thanks @lucifare💗💗 4y

Great children‘s book about siblings of autistic children. They are mostly 1 page articles, however there‘s pictures of the page opposite the stories.

#SpringIntoReading Day 19: There are a total of 28 poems in this amazing collection, all perfectly matched with Hines‘ painstakingly-meticulous quilts that are lovingly handcrafted. In each full-spread page of the quilt/artwork, the reader is immersed in patches of colours, circles of hope, and whispers of connectedness, hope, deliverance, and what it is like to #forgive. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-80h

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks So beautiful ❤️ 5y
