As a lurker and children's book author, I've enjoyed reading the views of librarians and how you use books. On the current topic, I notice that some of the books mentioned deal with some heavy subjects, even depressing subjects. Do you ever worry that you will leave children with a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness, where they are made aware of problems which they have little chance of solving, or where they may fear that something similar will happen to them? How do you combat this possibility? Just wondering.
