Thank you Elle. I’ve had to read this slowly and carefully. So are so very smart. I think about the children and young people who don’t get the opportunity or guidance to read and to build empathy and instead learn through popular youth culture such as drill music. The moral compass is set in a completely different direction .

I also consider those who are without empathy and the lack of kindness they display and the heartbreak that becomes of it

Keep writing beautiful girl 💕

Love that you enjoyed this, Jean. You’re so right about the power of stories to guide children’s experience of the world. I love to buy books for the young people in my life.
