Hey SCBWI friends in Houston @lynnekelly.bsky.social @varshab.bsky.social and out @samanthamclark.com, can you help spread the word about this local group's wishlist?
Houston's Book Fairy Brigade is
desperately in need of Spanish books, as well as middle grade novels and board books.
Every free book put into the hands of a child is an act of resistance AND joy.
Books feed the soul, fuel dreams, and offer hope.

This is the book we all need right now.
Feel like this book is more relevant than ever right now.
We are getting a reminder of what the world was like before vaccines.
