I love my daughter's Etsy shop so much. Her business of curating, cleaning, reviewing and repackaging good children's books emphasizes diversity, kindness & sustainability. Such a beautiful thing she's doing for the world! She has all her reviews on Goodreads now. 🧡

Amazing project:

“The River Knows What It Needs: Our Responsibilities to the Fraser,” documents a community dialogue about the health and revitalization of the Fraser Watershed, as situated within the laws of the Land since time immemorial.
