Boston is now ready for Christmas. The Ducks in Boston Garden are now decked out in their holiday finery.

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?

The season of "Best Of" feels like a great time to re-share this poem by @katemessner.bsky.social No matter how many lists a book does (or doesn't) end up on, there are still readers out there who were moved by your work. katemessner.com/what-happene... #KidLit #KidLitSky #Booksky #authorlife

Hello #TLSky #EduSky & #KidLit folks! This place feels very different than the Bad Place I deactivated months ago. It's nice to have a place to talk about books and libraries again.
