Very excited for the Book Party Decks, Clarkie!! And we’ve been reading Bedtime for Frances this week and each time we do I am so blown away by the patience and kindness her parents and especially her dad show her as she pushes and pushes bedtime during the time of day where I definitely have the very least left to give. He doesn’t brush off or belittle her fears, concerns, or questions or become angry or frustrated but meets her where she is as a child having a hard time settling for bed and having very normal, child-like worries.
Frances’ parents are GOATs of parents in children’s literature! I’m always blown away by the gentleness they bring- especially given the era in which the books were published.

Thank you, Grace!!
And yes! Frances’ parents are totally on this list. They always let her figure it out. There’s probably a theme party in here somewhere :)

I don't know if I needed to get on the mailing list for the decks, but I did anyway 😊
Oh, you’re getting a deck pair whether you want it or not! 🤗
GOOD!
I’m very honored that Robin is included on this reading rotation list. Thank you for your thoughtful insights!
