I've found myself thinking about great and greatly enjoyable works of the South this week. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, of course, which has such affection for life in a small Southern town while not shying away from the complexities of it. THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN for celebrating the great Mississippi River. COLD SASSY TREE for its sense of humor.

While waiting for the Madison folks to officially open the discussion, I was wondering: could we possibly begin this month with the regional literatures of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida? I imagine I am not alone in seeking children's lit books from these areas for comfort, teaching, and to a create space in which to think, pray, hope, imagine. I have found it helpful to read what I could find from the library -- books on New Orleans architecture, mostly -- in this long week of worry and longing. It is some sort of balance to all I have read on the internet and heard on the radio.
