My son turned 13 last week, and to celebrate during Spring Break we traveled to a waterpark for a few days. I decided to try out one of his library books on my own during the break, and I’m glad … Continue reading

Why Geese Fly Farther Than Eagles by Bob Stromberg (1992)

As I’ve been waking up my kids with books this school year, I’ve been trying to choose books that have shorter chapters, some life lessons from a Christian perspective, and (if possible) some entertainment to keep things lively. Recently, we’ve … Continue reading

It’s not every day I read a watercolor-illustrated by book by (what I can only assume was) an Irish-Catholic hippy! But these are weird days, so here I am. I came across this book in another Little Free Library. I … Continue reading

It’s always a joy for me to discover a “new” author who writes in a delightfully fresh way. Jules Feiffer is 100% that for me, and although I’ve read just this single submission, he’s become an instant favorite for me … Continue reading
