Lucie, Darcy, Emily… True American Heroes

Man, these ladies are cool. I posted the “Awkward Plea” on my blog and a sweet three days later a package arrived in the mail from one Overarching Lucie containing two volumes for my library- “The Lorax,” and “The Lotus Seed.” Then, two days after that, another package arrived! This time Darcy hit me up with two classics that are staples in any halfway decent first grade collection- “Where the Wild Things Are,” and “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” While that awesome parcel was waiting in my mailbox, I stopped by Emily’s apartment to pick up a few of her favorite titles from childhood, pictured below. You may notice a Maurice Sendak overlap, which is fine by me. It just means that two kids can be reading this rad book at the same time. However, if either lady wants their copy of “Wild Things” returned, I will certainly oblige.

The point is, thank you. I am so appreciative of the support you’ve all shown me. I can’t wait to see what titles drift through in the next few weeks, and I can’t wait to display them proudly on my shelves come September!
