MY HEART IS BREAKING!!!!!!!!!!!
(also, Jaden’s big eyes getting caught in the library is so cute)
Oh, Jaden, my heart.
I’m rather surprised that reading a book too old for her results in her being brought into the principal’s office since I frequently read books “too old” for me as a kid in the public library, but I guess it makes sense a school library would be more enforcing on what content is available to what ages.
Yeah, even with fifty trips around that mean old Sun I felt the same way when my Mom got her diagnosis. We buried her a week ago.
Beautiful work as always!
Honestly this page makes me feel incredibly sad—as someone who has worked at a library, even age-restricted materials are still permitted for, at least, reading within the library, even if a kid can’t check them out. This librarian is completely out of line and punishing Jaden not for breaking a rule (Jaden hasn’t tried to take the book from the library), but for “disrespect” (not following “please put it back where you found it”). I get, narratively, why this scene plays out this way, but I always feel a little sad when librarians in pop culture are obedience-obsessed guards of knowledge
Goddddd FUCK those librarians that used to get mad and yell at kids who were trying to read above level!!
