I'm So Glad You Were Born: Celebrating Who You Are | Ainsley Earhardt

so-so

3.5 ⭐ Her first two books were very loving and sweet. This book has a different illustrator, and it rhymes, it has cadence, and the story is lovely and fun. It very much surprises the reader with the mentions of God and being divinely designed, etc. Wow that is perfectly okay but surprises the reader if you were not expecting it. When the author gets into the pages of you can be anything you want to be I have to wonder. On the surface

LibrarianRyan I think this book is great but I‘m specifically looking at the author, who is a celebrity and does this book feel like that author. I have to say no. I do not know this woman. I only know her from her TV persona, but this feels a lot more forgiving than the politics she states while sitting on Fox News couch. 3w

Portraits | Steve McCurry

#FaceOnCover #MayMontage I had a mini version of this coffee table book in the 90s, and flipped through the portraits until the binding disintegrated. Like most people at the time, I was captivated by “Afghan Girl” and her striking green eyes, but even more than the 1984 National Geographic cover shot which was used for the cover of this Phaidon collection (left) I remember the controversy surrounding the photo in the 90s.👇🏼

IndoorDame It came out McCurry didn‘t know who she was, and he went back several times to look for her. He finally found her identity in 2002 and took a second series of photos (right) that stuck with me even more strongly. 2y

Eggs Love this 👏🏻🫶🏻👌🏼 2y

For Every Child, a Better World | Ellen Weiss, Louise Gikow

More love for this wonderful book. It was challenged in 2015 for containing images of poverty & for downplaying American Exceptionalism.

Boots says, “Hiss!!!” to book bans!
