Reading Madeline's book, I've learned just how important it is to not let education be "stifled or cultures to be erased or books to banned" I could not have come up with better words to share the importance of preserving stories and history, learning from them, and providing access to those in times of war or crisis to the stories that they need to help them survive.

Amazing! I absolutely loved this book. This is the second book I have read by Madeline and both were amazing. I cannot wait to read more of her work. I will be adding Madeline to my list of favorite authors for sure.

The blurb explains it well. Based on letters between Micheal‘s father living in London and his cousin in Poland. A good read together book for 8 + I would think. I loved it. Great illustrations too.

🎧 was not the best way to read this. Unfamiliar with Polish names and I struggled with keeping people straight. But. What a book. This is a feminist look at not only an amazing woman also war. I had never heard of The Silent Unseen - Polish paratroopers trained in Britain and dropped behind enemy lines in Poland Zo's story is both fantastical and frustrating as the Soviet punished Nazi fighters and men refuse to recognize women's contributions.

The Underground Library | Jennifer Ryan

Pickpick

Three resilient young women are brought together by a London library and their shared love of reading. When the library is damaged by bombs they help set up a small library in an Underground station working for their neighbors as they deal with their own issues. It has its melodramatic moments but overall balances strife, pluckiness, friendship, and a dash of romance to tell a charming story about the power of books and community.

I bought this over a decade ago, and it‘s been sitting on my shelf since then. It felt like the right time to pick it up and I‘m so glad I did. It‘s packed with history and information but in a way that‘s easily absorbable.
