Editor of books & watcher of tv

The bar on the corner is about 5 seconds behind our TV so when the Knicks do something good we wait for the cheer like thunder after lightning.

Books don't tell readers who they personally are or who they are supposed to be. They do show readers a variety of characters. Implicit in that is this: "Here are some ways of being." Kids books aren't altering your kid to be someone new. They are simply showing them parts of humanity.
