Musings

going postal…a post on the special kindness of letter-writing

gold and silver…musings on the riches of children’s literature

the nobility of the ordinary

let’s talk about race

thoughts on indigenous peoples’ day

what do we give when we give the gift of reading

a world of swiss cheese

as green as my grandmother

memories, gratitude, and women’s history

strange and welcoming…on longing, stories, and G.K. Chesterton

reading as an act of listening

reading beyond baked chicken

in a world of sorrow shall I dish up green eggs and ham?

on never outgrowing picture books

books are for wonder and wondering

art helps us see differently

a golden sled

let’s think of something to do while we’re waiting
