Facing our children’s mental health crisis with presence, honesty and hope is at hand in one small but mighty book: “Celia and the Little Boy,” by Irene Buchine. “I hate the world,” cried the little boy. “The world is a terrible place.” Every day we read articles in our newspapers with titles like “Board puts forth suicide prevention plan,” (
Monitor, 1/5). “Lawmakers push for mental health days for kids amid pandemic,” “Laws to help kids with mental illness slow to get going,” “The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and made worse the New Hampshire’s ongoing mental health workforce shortage.”

CONCORD Attorney General Gordon MacDonald said he would respect U.S. Supreme Court precedent if appointed to the New Hampshire Supreme Court including over reproductive rights responding to questions at an extended hearing Thursday to assess his renomination by Gov. Chris Sununu.
However, he would not detail how he might rule in the state’s highest court should Roe v. Wade be overturned federally, citing a long-standing tradition of not commenting on future decisions as a judicial nominee. He declined to divulge his own opinion.
