It was a delight, courtesy of @charlesbridge, to speak to educators about THE GOLDEN NECKLACE: A DARJEELING TEA MYSTERY, my new book for children ages 7-10 which launches next week. I got to read aloud from the book for the first time.

There's so much to love in @MitaliPerkins's latest, not least her recommended practices: * Seek mentors on the margins. * Fast to embrace vulnerability. * Retreat to let anger breathe. * Find third places. "The work of creativity and justice all hinges on a verb: just make it."

Why is building hope considered less of a literary achievement than crushing it? https://t.co/bSHXedWmx7 via @americamag

Why do most people stop reading children’s books they loved once they come of age? Books from our childhood can still do so much good work for us.
