I cannot recommend this book enough, such a powerful, insightful and important read about the barriers we’ve created for our children. @frank_cottrellboyce never fails to inspire and if you don’t read this book and want to get every child you know reading, I don’t know what will. https://link.amazon/B08kJLBNp 28 Oct 2026
