The Literate Mother,

Last week we attended the Book Expo of America in New York City. It was an amazing couple of days filled with book exhibits from around the world, author signings, editor and publisher panels, and, surprisingly, Condoleezza Rice and John Stewart sharing the same stage. We picked up a slew of new books to review for The Literate Mother, many of which are advance copies that won't be available until Fall. We are excited to introduce you to these new titles that editors and publishers will be pushing once the kids go back to school, so stay tuned this summer for the inside scoop on what is up and coming in the world of young adult literature.

MOTHERS DAY BY OPAL B SKINNER

She could not give her children gold,

So she gave them faith to have and hold,

She could not give them royal birth,

A name renown throughout the earth,

But she gave them seeds and a garden spot,

And shade trees when the sun was hot.

She could not give them a silver spoon,

Or servants, waiters night and noon –

She gave them love and a listening ear,

And told them God was always near.

She could not given them ocean trips,

Abroad majestic sailing ships,

But she gave them books and quiet time,

Adventures found in prose and rhyme.

She could not give them worldly things,

But what she gave them was fit for kings,

For with faith and books and sod,

She made each child aware of God.

If I am that child, Oh God, it is because

Thou gavest me such a mother.

Quoted in the book shattered silence about Mellisa G Moore with M. Bridget Cook

Words by Marianne Williamson
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so others won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. Are as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we our liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

A MUST READ BOOK OF GREAT COURAGE.
