pickNarnia for adults, in a way. I love Lewis‘ ability to articulate difficult mysteries in an understandable way yet without robbing them of their ineffable-ness.

pickThe art and red letters on this book reminds me of ‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark‘ (one of my childhood, teen, and adult favorites). This is a short but powerful and haunting book; it also serves as a warning to the reader, no matter their age. When fascism comes, speak up, no matter what. The time is always now.
pickIt‘s been quite a bit since I was a children‘s librarian, but I still like reading picture books from time to time. Recently there was one of those “help me find this book based on this vague description” posts on librarian FB and at the end of the, I realized I was not at all familiar with this Eve Bunting book… and now I am. Great message, a little scary and sad (it is an allegory about the Holocaust), excellent illustrations.
"For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran: 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.'"
"Animal Farm," Geroge Orwell
pickGreat short read. How have I gone this long without reading this classic?
