Each time, I hold my breath, waiting to hear that the family is safe, tears of anger being choked back. It’s sick, the reality of saying “each time”, as if this is to be accepted as normal.

This children’s book is adorable. Oh, the health, knowledge, and self empowerment a mini-human will build upon into adolescent years and beyond with a powerful food foundation. _ @brocandcara_childrens_gutbook + The Little Red Hen is what I’ll be giving all my friends’s minis.
