What Gives Merriam Sarcia Saunders Hope

Merriam Sarcia Saunders, author of You Can Say Hi with Only a Smile (Magination Press), illustrated by Tracy Nishimura Bishop, shares what is giving her hope today: children are paying attention to each other. Not to the noise or the division, but each other.

 

This is a new miniseries of indefinite length in which I invite my friends from the kidlit community to share what is giving them hope today.
