Graphic novels do, in fact, count as "real reading" and kids should feel proud reading them.

I am so proud that Rainbow Dragon is getting the love it deserves!

Special shout out to @gretasvb for such amazing art!!

The magic of your book is real.
But it needs to be visible.
List it where parents, teachers, and librarians actually go to discover books for children.

It's been a year from hell.
It's been a year of healing & new boundaries.
It's been a year of choosing me.
It's been a year of finding my voice.
It's been a year of finding my truth.

I am so happy 2 bring in this new moon, blood moon, & eclipse by cleansing, blessing both the house and myself.

We have a federal book banning bill introduced in Congress. The bill cites articles from Compass Classroom, a homeschooling resource site that has "Teach your kids to think Biblically about the world" right on their homepage.

Have you seen Wuthering Heights? What did you think??
