"Thirty Minutes Over Oregon" on Alternative Anticipated Children's Books of Fall 2018 List

This blog could have its own section/label called "Thank you Betsy Bird," this post being the latest entry.

Thirty Minutes Over Oregon: A Japanese Pilot's World War II Story (out 10/9/18) has made her Alternative Anticipated Children's Books of Fall 2018 List (and even if it hadn't, I heartily applaud Betsy's reason for making such a list).


Betsy: "Such a cool story and practically no one knows about it! ... It's this remarkable story about forgiving yourself, forgiving others, and reaching a hand out to someone you're supposed to think of as an enemy. We sort of need this book right now."

So, as spoiled in the first line above, thank you, Betsy Bird.
