An important poem about war and the devastating ways in which it haunts children, and so beautifully written.

“They say children are resilient;
that’s just a fancy way of saying we survive things we shouldn’t have to.”

Already struggling to afford food, one family couldn’t imagine how they’d get their daughter the eye care she needed. 💔Thanks to our partner, Family Love, she received an exam and new glasses — a small act with a big impact. 💛

Have you ever imagined what it’s like when faces and colours fade into a blur?
For 5 children in #Ukraine, a pair of glasses changed everything — bringing the world back into focus. 💛
Thanks to Little Lighthouse and your kind support, they now see clearly and smile brightly.

Time for me to say what all the vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, and others don't dare to say. Here is my latest poem.

This young boy showed early signs of spinal issues that could have become scoliosis. Thanks to free hydrotherapy at the Tony Hawks Centre 👉 www.childaidee.org.uk/moldova/tony... , his condition is stable—giving him a stronger, healthier future. 💙 #ChildAidEE #HydrotherapyHealing #HopeInAction

My latest poem and doodle about my beliefs in this broken world. There are too many wars that don't need to happen. Centuries later and we're still killing each other over lines on a map—it's crazy and shows how little people in power care about actual human lives.

Remember what endures. Empires rise and fall, markets surge and collapse, leaders come and go. But kindness, courage, and integrity outlast them all.

Oh, the whole "autism is not a disability" narrative. 😩 That one is so frustrating. I am so sorry you have to deal with it. Let alone everything else you have to go through. If you need someone to talk to, just give me a poke in private and I am here for you. 🤗

I don't often rant, but some things just need to be said. I called myself disabled earlier today, and someone decided to tell me I'm not. Here's why they're wrong, and what being disabled actually means for me every single day.

Unless your child is autistic and open-ended questions are the worst... 🤐

Shannon Hale @shannonhale.bsky.social · Sep 10

Best advice I can give to parents: once a week go to the library, pick out a stack of books (make sure your kid gets to pick out several on their own) and then throughout the week, read them together. Reread their favorites. Talk about them together. Snuggle and read. Ask open ended questions.
