#Willodeen is about fighting for our beautiful planet. It's about finding the bravery that lies inside each of us. And it’s about the ways we are all connected. Writing it was healing for me. I hope young readers find comfort and strength in it, too. 💜🌿 @MacKidsBooks #mglit

There's a reason I bought 20 copies of @kellyyanghk's wonderful book last week. Kids need to be reading FRONT DESK. Not some replacement book. THAT book. https://t.co/B6zc5u0bet https://t.co/zO3HmCaZkE
