This book is due in June. One joy of working in a bookstore is sometimes you get to see items before they grace the streets. The second joy was me talking to people, “I can’t wait for this book…… let me pre-order it for you!” (I was once introduced to the principal of a school as the gal that spent their money!) When I think of the bathroom I do not thing of doing a boogie. However, Clare Foges and Al Murphy do. Or at least […]
I Am Gandhi
The good thing about biographies for children is you do not tend to see the negative aspects of a person’s personality. The bad thing about biographies for children is you do not tend to see the negative aspects of a person’s personality. Therefore, I feel I am not always getting the full picture of a person. With that said, it is good that you do not see that Gandhi might not have been as perfect as I Am Gandhi (from the Ordinary People Change the […]
Marlon Bundo (Non-Pence version)
While I cannot compare them directly (I have not read Charlotte and Karen Pence’s book) but by description, reviews and having read Oliver’s book I am confident in saying that John Oliver and team have captured the imitation is the best form of flattery market with their version of the Vice President Pence (or his wife and daughter) book Marlon Bundo’s Day in the Life of the Vice President. While you might not agree with Pence or Oliver views, this is a book that is […]
A Couple of Babies
These two books have nothing to do with each other. I am only reviewing together to show that there is something for everyone out there. Feminist Baby by Loryn Brantz is an attempt to help spread contemporary thoughts. The story “Baby can do anything” is not new, but by putting in the word “feminist” you put a new spin on it. The fact the baby acts like a baby (gets messy, gets naked, etc.) means you will either love or dislike this board book of […]
Islandborn
Lola and her classmates are mostly from “someplace else” but now call here home. A school project to draw what you remember best about that first place has Lola unsure of herself (after all, she was just a baby when she left and has no memories from then). Yet, she quickly figures out how to use the resources around her: her family, friends, neighbors and even the memory the island has of her, to capture her heritage. Adults will see current and historical events and […]
Maya Lin
My sisters Girl Scout Troop went to DC many years ago. I was an older scout and considered chaperone material. I assumed (right or wrong) the girls just saw it as a time to get away from school (considering how young they were and being typical kids). I was thinking “OMG I’m going to see the White House! I’m going to see the Vietnam Memorial” (those were my two “must see” items). While seeing the White House was fun (though we missed the last tour) […]
