You Don’t Show the Sweet Without the Bitter | Up for Debate
I understand small moments of joy on a page, like a slave receiving a Christmas present, because I can place those stories into a broad landscape and see them as the exception, not the norm. You have to earn hopeful stories about horrifying events, and you can only see what hope means if the horrors lurking nearby are visible
De la Peña's "Last Stop on Market Street" Takes 2016 Newbery; Blackall's "Finding Winnie" Wins Caldecott

Finding the Fun
If you’re in Boston, chances are you are probably not reading this post, you lucky people! But for all of us #alaleftbehind here are some digital options.
