🏛️ Black History Month

February celebrates Black History Month. The National Park Service helps preserve and share important stories of African American history through memorials to historic schools, homes, and communities throughout the country. This month is a reminder that our national parks protect not just land, but the stories of people who shape our world.

Watch this short, but powerful video created by the National Park Service. The film, "Twenty & Odd," explores the legacy of more than 400 years of the African American experience. The narrative for this film is Maya Angelou’s amazing piece, “Still I Rise.”

♥️ Library Lover's Day

Happy Library Lovers' Day on February 14th! This day celebrates libraries across the globe and all the wonderful books inside them. Did you know that the world’s first library was formed in the Babylonian town of Nippur in 3 millennium BCE?

To celebrate this unique day, visit your local library and enjoy all it offers each community. We have 2.8 million libraries worldwide to visit! Perhaps a new bucket list? You can also celebrate by visiting a local little free library as well.

▶️ Kids Ask Authors Answers Feature

In case you missed it, I had the great opportunity to appear on Kids Ask Authors Answer's YouTube. I enjoyed answering a number of questions from children and even participated in a rapid fire quiz all about Polar Post ! I had a blast! Click here to watch this super fun episode. Please give it a view and let me know your favorite question submitted by a kid.
