Can a Children's Book Change the World?

Hi everyone!

This week I want to direct your attention towards an AMAZING TedTalk by Korean-American author Linda Sue Park. In this video, she discusses the concept and value of libraries, the difficulties of being "different," the value of books in helping people confront difficulties, her path to becoming a (very famous, very prolific) writer, and how reading can help teach empathy. It's a little longer than some of the other videos (about 13 minutes) but very much worth it!

-Ms. Gilana

p.s. we have nearly a dozen books by Linda Sue Park, come on by and check one out!
