Haven't been showing up here as much as I'd like t Haven't been showing up here as much as I'd like to because offline life has been full. But I have been thinking of some responses to my recent posts. Not because they disagree. I loveee a good intellectual disagreement- the kind where a conversation makes tou stop and revisit a story from a different lens. But there’s a difference between disagreeing with someone’s thinking and trying to silence it. Especially when we are talking about books and children, I think we need to be able to hold more than one thought at once. A question to you. Think about the kind of disagreements you witnessed growing up. Were they loud? Were you silenced by those in authority? Were you allowed to disagree? Were you allowed to question? Were you allowed to separate the argument from the person? Now, as an adult with power to shape children's thinking, what do you hope the children in your life learn about disagreement? #ammatoday
Ganesha- the one who was not meant to be aesthetic Ganesha- the one who was not meant to be aesthetic. The one who made the mighty Shiva into Shankara. The one who reminds us to dissolve egos and surrender. Today, He made me reflect on the many ways our work transforms us. We did the same story at Sacred Stories Circle with a completely different meaning. That is the beauty of these stories. Every time, they give you something new to reflect on.

Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl were two shelves we fin Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl were two shelves we finished completely at the library. I personally have a love hate relationship with his works. I love the stories and humour and I also hate some of the language and ideas behind the language. I've limited the post to only his works, and not his personal ideologies because that would be another post altogether. And also because separating art from the artist is something I truly struggle with. I've also tried to not make this post a rant by listing out the criticism. All I am saying is, we can keep the age they were written in mind and can still benefit from reading his work critically, and asking better questions. What is your take on Roald Dahl books? Should we do a part 2 on alternatives I usually recommend children who enjoy RD? #ammatoday
