Another stellar #libraryhaul 🌼 So excited for this extra-large #KidLitbookstack 📚

A 10-year-girl in Delaware picked up “It’s Perfectly Normal” while at the library with her mother. When they came home, she showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father, and it was the first time she’d spoken about it.

The Los Angeles Public Library is proud to present author @HelenaRhee as she discusses her new children's book Sora's Seashells. 🗓Friday at 4 pm 📺 https://t.co/k5YNklnBDi
