lunch–with attitude

Today we had lunch in Brooklyn with Miss Attitude, otherwise known as Ari, the amazing teen blogger at Reading in Color. I confess, there were times in the past when I wondered if she was really just a teenager—how could one young woman read and write so much on top of her school work and extracurricular activities? But I'm happy to report that Ari is legit, just as impressive in person, and it was a real pleasure to have lunch with her and her mom. We talked books and politics—the politics of books—and then took some photos before parting. Here's Ari with Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich and Lyn Miller-Lachmann. And below is Lyn, Ari, her mom, and me.
