Reading aloud as adults, and hearing others read, can help us calm our nervous systems, hear stories differently, build connections, and feel uplifted. As you listen to Abby read, you can sip hot or iced tea and use our supplies to color or bring your own crafts.

I remember seeing Nikki Giovanni speak many many years ago and she said exactly this. That there's no point trying to get people to fix their heartsโmake them fix their actions. Whether there's hate in their heart is their problem, but whether there's hate in their behavior, well, now that's mine.
