The boy is WHITE, right?
Don’t know for sure if he’s white, but I GUARANTEE he’s not black —think about just HOW BAD that would look, right?
White, or Asian, maybe.
Ah! And not hispanic. Not black, not hispanic (site overloaded so I can’t see the clip).
Cool concept. No harm. City is the typical overbearing bureaucracy.

Awards for the best childrens books
Whenever I see that Seinfeld episode, I always think of Joey Sanchez and my one lost book.
Funny how many important things I have forgotten...but not the theft of my Dr. Seuss book.
Caldicott is an award given to children’s book’s illustrators.

Some very good books have that award.
I personnally think that the free neighborhood library is a great thing. WE have them around town here (Savannah) and they don’t seem to be effecting our circulation at all.
Someone needs to find the bureaucrat behind this story and drill holds in his skull to let the demons out.
