It's not easy to impress me.
I was an elementary school librarian for years and years. I've been reading books nominated for the Cybils Awards for eleven of those years.
I've read a lot of good books.
The Day You Begin impressed me.
It's the simple story, told in unrhymed verse, of children who feel like they don't belong and who find connection in the little things.
I have loved Jacqueline Woodson for so many reasons, for her poetic words, for her truth, for her bravery. And now, with this book, I have a new reason to love her.
