I grew up (in age only) in rural North Carolina and central Ohio, so people watching has been great.

Everything this woman writes is gold. Just read it. Unless you’ve been through parental trauma, then keep going.

I’m still crying! I absolutely adore Toadling, the main character of this novella. In a reverse telling of the “Sleeping Beauty” story, the fairy is the good one. No spoilers- but it’s amazing.

“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.”
