Lovely article about kids reading There There in the classroom - and Tommy Orange visiting.

As his new book hits stores, I‘ve finally gotten around to reading There There. I enjoyed the book for its structure - first person multiple POV. Plus, it takes place in Oakland and so it‘s always interesting to read stories that take place in my own neck of the woods.

Powerful

This was a great book- the format was really interesting and allowed the readers to feel connected to the characters. He is such a poetic writer. Also the plot line was great- would absolutely recommend

This was an incredible read about Native Americans living in Oakland. It was about belonging and identity centered around multiple characters who all attended a powwow at the end of the story where violence ensues. 5/5

I finally discovered (it‘s apparently been up for a year) 🤦🏻‍♀️ a little free library in my neighborhood & just about a mile away from my house. I left 2 books & a few book stickers & took the tagged book, which I have been wanting to read. 📚💚

This had a disorienting number of characters, but it was a good book with an intense ending. #indiegnousauthors

My friend‘s dog Mabel checking out my book! #pugsoflitsy #dogsoflitsy
A different friend‘s puggle, Niko, needs cancer treatment. I would much appreciate it if you could share this link so he can get it: https://gofund.me/782c67cb
Thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing. This was my second time reading this one and I loved it just as much. This is such an important book. Honest. The Interlude is one of the best pieces of writing I‘ve read. Very much recommend especially since Thanksgiving is around the corner.
