📰 News we're reading

• PW Studio: PW Spotlight: Bedtime Stories Make Room for Fear (publishersweekly.com) — A new cross-border reading initiative is partnering with Beyond the Book Bookstore in Homewood, creating a space where local families can join live and virtual conversations about fear, courage, and hope in children's lives. The project grew from a physician's decades-old bedtime stories that helped his own family face illness, and now invites Homewood parents, kids, and grandparents to read together and talk through tough emotions in a supportive community setting.
