Read Ribbon Skirt by Cameron Mukwa this morning. It is a middle grade graphic novel about a two spirit kid who has faced discrimination at school. They rekindle a friendship over the summer and make a ribbon skirt to wear to the local pow wow. It was a lighthearted book showing friendship and respect. Highly recommend for the kidlets in your life.

If sailor tales to sailor tunes,
Storm and adventure, heat and cold,
If schooners, islands, and maroons
And Buccaneers and buried Gold,
And all the old romance, retold
Exactly in the ancient way,
Can please, as me they pleased of old,
The wiser youngsters of to-day…

Attack of the Black Rectangles by Amy Sarig King was fantastic! Honestly, I was stuck in my cabin last night because of the ice storm and I only have like ten books there. This one caught my eye so I grabbed it. I was able to finish tonight. A great story about censorship in a middle school classroom. The main character has a lot of real world problems going on- his dad is an asshole, he has his first crush. Highly recommend for ages 8-13.
Just a little hello from Bologna. I hope you’re having a swell week. I found my book «Mut und Marmelade» on a shelf at the book fair. Soooo sooo cool

“To me, Lang himself is a hero of literature. Besides being the champion of Robert Louis Stevenson & Haggard, he was the first critic to produce a study of Kipling’s work, found a publisher for the young Arthur Conan Doyle’s first major novel… & repeatedly informed the English that Mark Twain was one of the world’s great writers”

“His own fairy narratives, however, and their success in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, suggest… that fairies persist, & become figures of fascination in this period, not because they offer an escape into the past, but because they speak powerfully, if indirectly, about present concerns”
