This week on All the Books, Liberty and Vanessa discuss A Better World, Canto Contigo, The Gathering, and more great books! bookriot.com/?post_type=pod…
You might be wondering what this booklet has to do with #NationalLibraryWeek. Growing up in segregated Memphis in the 1950s and ’60s, my mom and her siblings had limited access to libraries. With no children’s books in the home, mom was desperate for reading material. 1/
