Notably: Today is Read Across America Day. The day was previously associated with Dr. Seuss, or Theodor Geisel, whose birthday is today (1904). It is now part of National Reading Month. In his proclamation for Read Across America last year, President Biden said: “I have always believed that America’s children are the kite strings that keep our national ambitions aloft — the more we do today to spark their curiosity, their confidence, and their imaginations, the stronger our country will be tomorrow.” Imagine what we could do if book banners like our own school board members did not take razors to kite strings.

–From Colin Thubron’s “Shadow of the Silk Road” (2006).
