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

“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.”

I celebrate in memory of my grandfather, born into slavery; my father, who endured injustice with dignity; and the many brave, unsung heroes in my family whose stories still echo in my heart. Today, we remember — and we keep moving forward.

This #Juneteenth I honor the legacy of liberation and reflect on the strength, resilience, and hope passed down through generations.

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

💕#Repost @nicki_reads_books.・・・.This book popped up in our little free library @treelinelibrary yesterday. This book is so special to me. My daughter and I read this in 2020 when we had a little mother-daughter bookclub. It’s such a good book!

An Ocean of Stories—what a beautiful reminder of the power of words to connect us, shape us, and carry us. Let’s celebrate the stories that move us—at home, in schools, and in every corner of our lives. #childrensbookweek #anoceanofstories
