What a great cover!

Oh, man. The last time I went to tutoring before everything closed down, the kids were reciting this.

*has feels*

Thank you very much!

Oh, wow. I just ordered this about a week ago as a way to help an independent bookstore. I read it to Minisculus but he was indifferent. It's mainly for me. I am not doing very well. :(

Oh I love that cover. I might have to put this one on my To Buy list.

Thanks!

I am so sorry to hear that, and not terribly surprised. I don't know anyone who's doing well just now: I think we're all of us gritting our teeth and hanging on by a tether. Hugs, and all. It sucks.

Really? I don't know. It seems like everyone on this site is already thinking positive thoughts and filling up gratitude journals and sewing silver linings. I feel like I am the only one struggling to maintain a modicum of routine. I went to the store today for the first time and it is so very disconcerting. Lots of some things, nothing of others. It's very difficult to think. And I am not even reading the news or anything direct.

I guess we know different people! Also, I'm in NYC, which has 1/3 of the cases in the whole country (think: European-style population density) and I'm married to a doctor [rest of list of reasons not to be cheerful redacted so as not to bring you down further]. Believe you me, no gratitude journals are being made around here.

Feel free to message me with further woes: maybe we can be bitterly funny together, or something.

I’m so drawn to that cover. What age level do you think is appropriate for this book?

Hope you’re doing ok.

I read it to Minisculus (age 4). He was sort of indifferent but he didn't dislike it. It's more for me than for them. I like the art and the language of the poem is very simple so I think it'd be fine for your kids.

You know, I'm trying to find a new routine. It's taking a lot longer than I think it should. It's difficult to think sometimes. We're all together. The boys' father isn't traveling and he's working from home.

How much longer do you have in the cast?

Oh, I like this:-)

A very recent acquisition. I like the combination of poetry and art.
