Steeped in Stories: Timeless Children's Novels to Refresh Our Tired Souls by Mitali Perkins

3.0

I really enjoyed this book. I was also able to attend a Zoom call with the author. She was incredibly sweet and humble, and has such a desire for children to be exposed to good literature but also become discerning and compassionate human beings—being kind to those who are different from them and learning about and celebrating other cultures. Her hope and belief is that we can read these classic books with our children while also navigating the parts of the books that are blatantly and sometimes subtly racist, misogynistic, etc.
