Well said, Big Grandma. Stories are needed all the time, and I'm so proud to be a part of a community of librarians and writers who who care so much. I remember a talk that Uri Shulevitz gave to a group of storytellers a few years ago at the 92nd St. YMHA. When he was a child, very hungry and frightened, with his mother in Kazakhstan during the war, he survived on stories. One of them that sustained him was a story about all the wonderful food they were going to have when the war was over. Hope for the future resides in stories and often makes a terrible present bearable. Fran
