I often miss the “viral” videos, since I’m not on social media. But I recently found this one of a high school student who took pictures of students and staff, telling them that she wanted to capture things that are beautiful. So amazing to see everyone’s reactions.
*If you do watch the video, there is one aggressive response and two curse words, FYI.*
I finally watched Grace Lin’s TED Talk, The Windows and Mirrors of Your Child’s Bookshelf, and I love it! Wonderfully done, brought tears to my eyes, and definitely got me reflecting on the books we have on our shelves. I’ve always put great thought into which books we own and which books we read from the library. This was a fabulous talk that I highly recommend, especially to parents, teachers, and librarians. (Now my secret wish to be Grace’s best friend is even stronger. I love her so much. =)

I love this video where a Vanderbilt student asks if he can come up and play piano for Billy Joel.
