::Sigh::
I think I liked it better when Oprah simply ignored children’s fiction.
Not even our vanguards made the list.
I don’t get it! I just don’t get it.
But wait…the 6-9 year old reading range features Janice Harrington and Henry’s Freedom Box illustrated by Kadir Nelson.
There is that.
And the MG list is the most diverse.
So there’s that.
