In a world where many adults don't know when/how 2 intervene when others are experiencing harm, FAERIE DREAMERIE LAND gives an "in" to that conversation w/children in a whimsical & magickal way that honors that we can't know light w/o shadows. #DVPIT #F #NIV #LGBT #ND #WOC #KIDLIT #BIPOC #PB-#CB

SPEAK BUT W/ KIMCHI

Nobody wants to hear about SA
Or think about it
Until it happens to you.
Least of all the eldest daughter
Of immigrants.
So she peels back layer after layer
To cut away the pain
But only finds herself.
Can she learn to be enough?

In the liminal space between picture book & chapter book, FAERIE DREAMERIE LAND shows a young girl discovering her own light while helping someone else find their’s. Literacy is in such a fundamental decline. This type of book is more important than ever.
