The companion to the #1 New York Times bestseller and NAACP Image Award winner Stacey's Extraordinary Words, from political leader Stacey Abrams and artist Kitt Thomas. Stacey's favorite day of the week is Thursday, when the whole class goes to the library. There she gets to lose herself in the books she loves and not face her own fears. When Stacey discovers that Julie, a new student, doesn't know how to read well in English, they decide to read together at the library. Soon other kids are joining them at their table, and their reading group expands from the library, to recess, and even to the pool. They learn that sharing stories takes them on magical adventures and reveals other worlds and cultures--but best of all, it brings them together as friends. This is another inspiring tale, based on a true story from Stacey Abrams' childhood, about the life-changing power of books.
