I knew from a very young age that the written word was something I needed, but yet I struggled to learn to read.
It was my mother who led me through the struggle, who held up words on flashcards for me to memorize, who believed in me.
Words—the power and privilege of reading and writing—are at the center The Beatryce Prophecy.
Today, The Beatryce Prophecy goes out into the world, and I will be going around the neighborhood putting copies of the book into Little Free Libraries.
I do it in honor of words and stories.
I do it in honor of my mother.
I do it in honor of everyone who teaches someone else how to read.
