Shortbread Walker the 1st Says Sticks and Stones Can Break My Bones and Names Can Sometimes Hurt Me in Bloomington, MN

Shortbread Walker the 1st is excited to go to the library for Storytime. As he proceeds up the library walkway, he notices a sign on the doors that reads, "Library Closed, Due to Pandemic." While disappointed, he decides to make the best of a picturesque fall day with a game of fetch on the library's exquisitely, manicured, green lawn. He learns and shares valuable lessons about patience, feelings, acceptance, persistence and forgiveness in this much needed story about names and their importance, and why we should respect and give careful consideration all. Afterall, sticks and stones can break bones and names can sometimes hurt us and our reaction to these unfortunate boundary breaking events can be kind and self-affirming.
