Dear Children… YOU are brave, you are beautiful, you are important, you are special, you are powerful. You are our inspiration. You give us hope.
One of my dearest friends Roda visited hundreds of schools nationwide to share her incredible children’s book Mae Among the Stars with thousands of kids. Through those experiences, faces and stories, she found reasons to be hopeful about our future. When you watch this moving video she made, perhaps you will too.
I love you, Roda. I love your love for humanity. I love your love for your kids. I love your love for language. I love your love for books. I love your love for all children of all backgrounds in all places for all time.
