Teach kids to listen to the world around them. Didactic without losing the meditative magic of childhood wonder.
A Walk in the Words by Hudson Talbott ★★★
Go ahead and give it a read. Important story conveyed in a compelling way. ★★★

Love dystopian YA? About to have a baby or recently become a parent? Here’s a book to pull at your heartstrings. Twist of romance, strong writing served neat.
