Summary: "Children's literature educator and children's book author Megan Dowd Lambert shares a collection of her essays about family, reading, and bonding as a family through books"--Summary: As the parent of a "multiracial, adoptive, queer, blended family" that now includes nine children, Lambert strove to help her children realize their individual, unique potential, and be defined by their own thoughts, dreams, hope, fears, strengths, struggles, and triumphs. Here she shows how shared reading forged a common ground: either reading together or discussing books they had read separately. In a sequence loosely based on themes of parenting, adoption, race, and healing conversations, Lambert invites you to use "book bonding" to show your children the world as it really is, rather than an idealized white, heterosexual, middle-class society. -- adapted from Foreword and Preface.
