My son loves Star Wars, so as soon as I knew SOLO was hitting the theaters, I asked him if he wanted to go to the screening with me. There was never ANY doubt in his mind; he was going. I enjoy Star Wars, but I’m not a fanatic. I do think the reboot and additions… [Read More]
Yes, you should take your kids to see A Wrinkle in Time
As a child, I wasn’t into science fiction or fantasy type books. I was given a set of Madeleine L’Engle’s books, including A Wrinkle in Time and they just sat on my shelf.
