Why I Read: A Reflection on Family

May 28, 2021May 28, 2021 ajpax

I was at my parents’ house a few months ago looking through a box of old books that I could share with my new nephew, Nolan (passing the Cashman love of reading on to another generation). When I came across Fletcher, I wrapped both arms around the thin little book and pulled it tight to my chest, just like I did when I was little.

closed! ~ •giveaway•~ Where’s Waldo? In the East Village, of course! Storyhouse Bookpub is hiding the iconic children’s book character in the red-and-white-striped shirt and black-rimmed specs in twenty-five local businesses in the East Village this July. Celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2022, Find Waldo Local is a great summer vacation activity and a wonderful way to support local businesses across the @eastvillagedsm . 🪴 THIS FRIDAY • July 1 • 5-8pm 🌺 Happy First Birthday, Storyhouse! ☀️ SUMMER READING CHALLENGE 📚 bookmarks for little readers *and* grownups are available at Storyhouse (or you can download them at the link in bio). ✨time to pre-order your new favorite t-shirt ✨ Drag Queen Storytime with Capital City Pride 🏳️‍🌈 Saturday, June 25 at 10am & 10:30am. Happy Juneteenth, book friends! Many of us (especially white folks Iike me!) are still learning the incredibly important significance of the holiday as this year marks the second federal observation and we fill in gaps in our historical education that prioritized white supremacy - and reading can be a great place to start. What are you reading to celebrate? Meet Cassandra! Storyhouse’s newest bookseller 📚💚📚
