Randy Ribay “Reading—and writing—help us connect. They help us share our stories across time and space and borders. They help us find one another. They may provide the community that we need but do not have in person due to our particular or geographical circumstances. They help us imagine what such a community can look like and remind us that we need to BUILD that community. They help us remember that though it is normal to feel alone, we are not alone. We have never been alone. So, let our kids read—and write—to anchor themselves in community.”
