I am truly saddened by the passing of this glorious woman, who challenged stereotypes and walked her own goshdarned path in whatever footwear brought her joy. I shall remember her as she preferred, as the Book Lady, who gave more than 300 MILLION books to kids worldwide. A free book every month, regardless of income, family makeup, politics or religion, free of charge, free of obligation, to kids from zero to five, anywhere. The streets of heaven have a new angelic pedestrian tonight and long may her legacy last.
