THE UN ESTIMATES THAT, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, about 1.5 billion children were out of school during the pandemic, with at least a third unable to access remote learning.

NO NAME EVEN

I bought three books

the other day

at the store I

go to

the store my daughter used to

go in almost every day when

she lived in that neighborhood.

I had them send a fourth book

to a friend.

No I don’t need a card to 

go with it

you don’t need to

even put my name.

One of your bookmarks

will be enough.

The person

will know.

Thanks.
