Your public library may ask for reviews of this book before they order it. You can cite the links 
to the NPR and Atlantic pieces. 


I recommend making the book purchase request online so that you can copy and paste these 
links. Making the request on a hardcopy postcard makes it difficult to cite the links. 


Talk about this book with friends, neighbors, teachers, librarians, social workers, and heath care 
workers you know. There's a role for each of us.
