Nancy Pearl: First, I became a librarian because when I was a child the most important people in my life were the two children’s librarians at my local public library (the Parkman Branch Library in Detroit, Michigan) and the librarian at my elementary school (Hally, also in Detroit). We’re so honored to have spoken with Wonder Woman herself and we are delighted to share her excellent book suggestions.īianca Schulze: Why did you choose to be a librarian? In 2004, Pearl became the 50th winner of the Women’s National Book Association Award for her extraordinary contribution to the world of books and she has a monthly television program Book Lust with Nancy Pearl on the Seattle Channel. You can often hear this heroine fighting to get the right books into the right hands, on National Public Radio’s (NPR) “Morning Edition.” The proof of her success is in her bestselling book Book Lust: Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Reason and is visible by her standing-room-only bookstore and library events. She has been gifted with a wide range of superhuman powers including, but not limited to, a natural ability to book talk. ![]() ![]() Nancy Pearl has worked as both a librarian and a bookseller and is the librarian equivalent of Wonder Woman. ![]() By Bianca Schulze, The Children’s Book Review ![]()

Get over yourselves, people.Īnd don't get me started on the illustrations - they are gorgeous!!! They flow and give a flair of freedom - to me, it almost represents a freedom that wasn't there before. This book really highlights the question: why DO you care if someone ELSE is gay? How does it affect YOUR life? It doesn't. It not only highlights that there is nothing wrong with having gay parents, but it also highlights the stereotypes of gender roles. Kids are naturally curious and need to find out before prejudice is dropped on them.Ī tale of two mommies is fantastic. It's also a way to show the children with heterosexual parents that there's no strangeness about it. The book does so in a format where the little boy's friends ask the questions, and he answers them. So I love it when books like this come about that just spread love and equality in the right way to kids and adults alike.

Two, why would Raguel absolve him of this crime? The killing wasn’t done out of love, as far as any information we were given, so absolution goes directly against the function Raguel was created to perform. ![]() One, what? The narrator, other than feeling out of place and out of sorts, gave no indication he had killed anyone or that he would have any reason to kill anyone. I plan to read it again tonight, but have been thinking about it all day. It left me with a few questions I’d love someone to give me their thoughts or let me know what I may have missed. I read this short story last night and have read it at least once before (because the book was already on my Kindle and I do recall some of the other short stories in the collection) and only realized this time that the main character is supposed to have killed Tink, her sister and her child before meeting Raguel and hearing his story. ![]() ![]() Published in 1782, the British had certainly enjoyed a head start on Laclos and other novelists publishing in the latter decades of the 18th century, but in truth Laclos was just helping to play catch-up.
