This was the sign I marched with on Saturday (picture taken before I attached two sticks for handles). There are SO MANY issues, but this was the best sign idea I had. Possibly because some of my favorite memories are from Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Acadia. 💚

This book about how Central Park was created is beautiful and I highly recommend it. I‘m pleased she included the forced removal of residents living where the park was built, even though this is a celebration of the park. The author ends by reminding us that the park was made for all of us.

Finished March 5, 2025.

Bookzombie This book came to my intention when Paul Castle, YouTuber/Tick Tock influencer and children‘s book author, posted about a bookstore owner pulling this book from their shelves and offering refunds to customers because there is tiny illustration of 2 males being married at the park. I‘m not sure I have all the words to express how much this shit angers me. 1w
Bookzombie Also, the book features Emma Stebbins, who sculpted Angel of the Waters, and OMG she was a lesbian (I might be labeling her and apologize if I am.) Emma and her partner, Charlotte Cushman, considered themselves married. 1w
PatriciaU Ugh about the bookstore pulling this. Takes me back to early days in my library career when idiots painted diapers on the naked little boy in Sendaks In the Night Kitchen. Cretins. 1w

“And that was the moment when Sofia first knew being brave means doing the thing you must do, though your heart cracks with fear. Though you're just in Grade Two.“

I like that the community gets together at the end to build a park together.

When Sofia Valdez sees a problem, she will find a solution! In this book, she visits City Hall to turn a pile of trash into a park. The lesson of this book is that you have to be brave to do what's right!

I like that it rhymes!

I love to listen to relaxing sounds when reading, especially those that involve nature (rain sounds are a favorite). My new passion are the albums on the National Parks with beautiful musical tones as well as sounds from the parks themselves. The albums are all available on AppleMusic and Spotify, and I created a playlist on Spotify if you're interested. Here's the shortened link:
https://shorturl.at/13eJX ⬇️

dabbe Some places include: Acadia, Alaska, American Rivers, Blue Ridge Mountains, California Coast, Canadian Rockies, Carlsbad Caverns, Everglades, Grand Canyon, Glacier Lakes, Great Smoky Mountains, The Desert, Monterey Bay, The Northwest, The Rocky Mountains, etc. ... 7mo
Kerrbearlib I‘m going to check these albums out- thanks for sharing! 7mo
dabbe @Kerrbearlib They're my new fave ... I have the entire playlist running all day through my Sonos. I hope you like them! 🩵💙🩵 7mo

Suet624 Oh my gosh! Thank you for this playlist. I like listening to nature sounds, especially in winter when the snow is coming down outside my window. 7mo
dabbe @Suet624 You're welcome! I'm playing it right now! 🩶🧡🩶 7mo
TieDyeDude That's cool. I never thought to listen to ambient sounds before. I'll have to give that a try. Stacy doesn't like listening to music while reading, so that could be a compromise. 7mo
dabbe @TieDyeDude I hope she likes it! 🤩 7mo

#SummerSouls #park Every time I have gone to New York, I try to visit some part of Central Park. A treasure! When it was first built, the common complaint was it was too far north, the city would develop that far out.😂 New York wouldn‘t be the same without this amazing space.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Sounds amazing! 10mo

“Within National Parks is room-glorious room-room in which to find ourselves, in which to think and hope, to dream and plan, to rest and resolve.” ~Enos Mills

I‘ve been following Amber Share on Instagram for quite awhile so I was especially excited to get this from @wideeyedreader for Mother‘s Day. I loved it ❤️
