Dear Librarian
40 pages |Ā HardcoverĀ
This true story, first told on the critically acclaimed radio show, NPR'sĀ This American Life, is about a child experiencing homelessness who finds a safe haven in her local library.
When Lydia was five years old, she and her family had to leave their home. They hopped from Grandma's house to Aunt Linda's house to Cousin Alice's house, but no place was permanent. Then one day, everything changed. Lydia's mom took her to a new place -- not a house, but a big building with stone columns, and tall, tall steps. The library.
In the library, Lydia found her special spot across from the sunny window, at a round desk. For behind that desk was her new friend, the librarian. Together, Lydia and the librarian discovered a world beyond their walls, one that sparkled with spectacular joy.
Paired with warm art by newcomer Romina Galotta and a foreword by Ira Glass,Ā Dear LibrarianĀ is a "thank you" to anyone who has offered a child love and support during a difficult time.
