What a beautiful little library! I always love spotting my books out in the world. Thank you for sharing this sweet photo! 💕

#Repost @lf_bookstore ・・・ Did you know July is national #disabilityawarenessmonth? In celebration, we’re sharing some books we love that tell inspiring stories of life with a disability. What are some books you’ve loved that include disability representation?

I know firsthand the long hours, the deep care, and the unwavering dedication it takes to teach, inspire, and uplift your students. Whether you’re in your first year or your fortieth, please know your work matters. To all the incredible teachers out there — thank you. 💛

When I was a child, the public library down the street was my happy place. I checked out ten books each time, and loved them all. That library and the wonderful librarians who worked there nurtured me, guided me, inspired me, and helped to make me a writer. Thank you! 💕📚

Books have a way of crossing borders, languages, and time zones. A beautiful review came from a reader in Turkey — and reminded me that stories truly connect us all. 💕#Repost @ozgetkbyk

Thanks for having me, CP Rochester! I had a blast and enjoyed hanging out with your Reading Group. 💕

Wishing you all a safe and joyful holiday with your loved ones! ✨

“Did you know? Kids who are read to daily hear 1.5 million more words by the time they’re 5 than those who aren’t. That’s a million and a half reasons to open a book tonight.”

Reading is the dance of the mind — every page a new step, every story a rhythm that moves the soul. 📖📚

We remember and honor those that made the ultimate sacrifice.
