I'm so glad you mention Mortimer's Christmas Manger. I meant to buy it last year for one of my daughters and forgot. Now I can this year. Thank you - and a blessed Advent to you and yours!
Hi! Loved this post. I’ve wanted to comment for while and tell you that What Happened to Rachel Riley? was probably the best middle grade book I read this year. It was incredibly moving, important, and just SO well done. (I write for Afoma at Reading Middle Grade and have my own little free newsletter too!) I haven’t gotten to Take it From the Top yet, but it’s on my list.
Unrelated- my grandparents have a home in Rhinelander and I spent part every summer there as a kid!
THIS!! I can't tell you how refreshing I find this perspective--that entitlement and complaining are only damaging for us. But there are still great things we can do, and this is such a doable but effective list. Gonna be better at checking my library and bookstore's calendars!
