On my #MSWL, contemporary middle grade books about boys and friendship. Boys care and worry about and love their friends, but there aren’t enough books that tackle those emotions and experiences.

On my #mswl, books that foster empathy and compassion, that empower and inspire, that raise awareness, and show kids that there is magic and beauty in our world.
