Thursday Thought

I’m often surprised by people who say that something is impossible when other commenters in the same post have already explained how to do it. Be open to new possibilities, and you will be amazed at what is possible.

Thursday Thought: Many of you know and love her already. If you don’t, her name is Amanda Gorman. I’ve seen her referred to as Amanda Forman and Amanda Harris, but her name is Amanda Gorman. She has two books coming out in September, a children’s book called Change Sings, and her debut book of poetry, The Hill We Climb, which includes the poem she delivered at the inauguration. If you are in the United States, you can preorder both through Cincy Book Bus (https://bookshop.org/shop/cincybookbus) and all the profits will be used to buy books for classroom libraries and children’s programs that promote literacy. You can follow Cincy Book Bus on Facebook and Instagram (@cincybookbus), and you can order Amanda’s books here:
