A month ago, I could never have told you that I loved Mirette on the High Wire as a kid—-but I saw its cover framed in the Penguin halls recently (note the shiny Caldecott medal!) and was instantly taken back to this story. I ordered it into the office, and have spent this morning going over the pages. Maybe my Francophilia started here? (This, or Beauty and the Beast.) Either way, it’s always a delight to find new favorite things about my job, and today, it’s re-discovering beloved childhood books..
This totally gave me one of those “I loved this book as a kid!” moments in which I was instantly transported back to reading this book, down to how it felt to hold it as I turned the pages.
Books, man. Magic.
Interview with Snow Like Ashes writer Sara Raasch!
Bio:
Sara Raasch has known she was destined for bookish things since the age of five, when her friends had a lemonade stand and she tagged along to sell her hand-drawn picture books too. Not much has changed since then — her friends still cock concerned eyebrows when she attempts to draw…
An interview with ifreakinlovebooks!! In which I get super cheesy and blubbery.

Yes. YES. Fuck Columbus forever.
I’ll always distinctly remember being a -child-, maybe 7? and even then being so horribly angry about Columbus. I was originally vocal about it. The real kicker? I quickly learned to shut up about how I felt.
I tried to talk about how infuriating it was to learn how Columbus invaded and destroyed an entire native people. And every adult I talked to tried to convince me everything Columbus did was totally okay. Apparently children aren’t supposed to learn about Columbus and find him to be anything but ~brave~ and ~adventurous~ or some shit.
I’m still, even now, fucking appalled anyone, ANYONE, could so easily and thoughtlessly try to indoctrinate a small child into accepting genocide of native people. It’s …disgusting, and so extremely telling of how far our culture will go in its dehumanization and erasure of the violence native people endured and continue to endure at our hands.
So. Yes. Fuck Columbus.
I hope someday we all celebrate Indigenous People Day and only remember Columbus for his crimes against humanity.
This.
