When Lydia was five years old, she and her family had to leave their
home. They hopped from Grandma's house to Aunt Linda's house to Cousin
Alice's house, but no place was permanent. Then one day, everything
changed. Lydia's mom took her to a new place -- not a house, but a big
building with stone columns, and tall, tall steps. The library.
In the library, Lydia found her special spot across from the sunny
window, at a round desk. For behind that desk was her new friend, the
librarian. Together, Lydia and the librarian discovered a world beyond
their walls, one that sparkled with spectacular joy.
Paired with warm art by newcomer Romina Galotta and a foreword by Ira
Glass, Dear Librarian is a thank you to anyone who has offered a child
love and support during a difficult time.
