Everyday something new and awful from Tyrant Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen... #HumanitiesUnderFire #TrumpFirings

Jane Goodall Dies at 91, Leaving a ‘Legacy of Making Our Planet a Better Place’ “Jane Goodall was the best of us. May she rest peacefully, as we carry on.” www.commondreams.org/news/jane-go...

“The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves.” We lost a beautiful soul today in Dr. Jane Goodall. RIP & Godspeed #janegoodall

In a world that often chooses destruction over wonder, be like Jane Goodall. Listen to the whispers of the forest and the cries of the wild. Protect creatures who cannot speak for themselves. Cherish the earth as if every tree, river, and mountain were part of your own family.

I would have to say both Dr. Seuss - b/c his books brought so much emotion, and Donald J. Sobol, the author of the Encyclopedia Brown book series. Both were amazing children's book #authors. 📚 #BookSky #bookcommunity #readers #writingcommunity #books #WhoInfluencedYourLoveOfReading
