>> Now, I have been
learning for years now
from children's books--
from picture books,
in which you learn how you want
to teach your kids to be kind,
to be tolerant, to be
generous, to be empathic,
to take care of each other.
Well, I remember that when
I came to the United States,
part of my learning was
if I was a child again.
I didn't realize it until much
later that in that emptiness
that I felt, there was
actually a great opportunity
because there was this blank, it
was like a blank piece of paper
on which I could write,
and I really appreciate
at first what the Library
of Congress is doing to send
that message to families to say
that even though this building
might look kind of like magical
and scary, in fact,
it's a promise,
and the promise is
that this is yours.
I can show it to you right now.
This is yours.
When you are ready, come back
because we have all
of this for you.
