I have spent the month of March reading Middle Grade and found myself drawn to immigrant/refugee books as well as those of BIPOC. This episode was a perfect companion. Thanks for your hard work, but more than that, thanks for your laughter and camaraderie. It is the perfect blend. (Plus, getting Anne to giggle is my goal on each episode!)
