Pushing Forward... We’re navigating a challenging time, but so many things keep us pushing forward. Among them are these words from Frederick Douglass: “If there is no struggle, there is no progress…This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” The struggle for freedom and justice always continues. It does not rest on any one event, whether successful or not. As kidlit creators, educators, librarians, parents, and supporters, let’s continue to use our gifts and talents to positively impact the lives of our young people. Our books make a difference. Our teaching makes a difference. Our example makes a difference. Our guidance, mentorship, the time we spend listening, supporting, pouring into — it’s all valuable and needed. Especially now. Let’s find meaning and purpose with others who know that we MUST continue. And when we need a reminder, may we find encouragement in each other and the young people who deserve our best. Advance important conversations that lead to action with our “Be the Change” book bundle for young people, featuring three critically acclaimed titles from kidlit power couple Wade and Cheryl Hudson.

For several decades now, global warming has been blamed on humans.😁 It would be something if cosmic activities is the reason for earth changes. That would be more consistent than our footprint changing weather patterns and causing natural disasters.😎
