I've mentioned that I'm going through my collection of children's books and then donating them in the hopes that children still read! An author whose books I am now going through is Jean Little. She wrote over 50 books in her lifetime, mainly for young readers I'd say between 10 and 14. She herself was blind and many of her books feature children with physical disabilities or facing difficult personal circumstances. I just finished Willow and Twig and I highly recommend it for all ages. Willow and Twig's mother is a drug addict and they live a precarious life until they find their grandmother and go to live with her. Jean Little died on April 6, 2020 at the age of 88.
You can hardly see it but there's a tiny bird on the very top of my latest bouquet..
I hope you're having a lovely weekend and that wherever you are the sun is shining. We are having yet another damp day. We've had 18 days so far this month with measurable precipitation. At least it isn't SNOW.
Thanks for visiting, GM
We had snow flurries this morning. They didn't stick and it's supposed to be in the 50's tomorrow, but only 25F tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'm really tired of the cold and snow this year.
Piper reads all of the time. She has lots and lots of books. We have read to her at bedtime every single night since she was born and now she reads to herself after we read a short book together. Everyone in our family are avid readers except our DIL in Montana. I love books.
Take care and stay warm.
Blessings,
Betsy
Sounds like a great book! I read some of Jean Little's books when I lived in Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️
ReplyDeleteDear Granny, Love your beautiful flowers and the book sounds interesting! We have had snow every day lately and temperatures too cold to melt anything, but I have faith that Spring will eventually come to our part of the world. Just need to be patient for a while yet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post and the bouquet is just amazing!
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Sunday :)

The bouquet is lovely!!
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds like a good one.
Turned cool here today, mostly cloudy and a few rain sprinkles every once in a while.
That bouquet is lovely. I've never heard of that book but sounds good. We are having a lovely Sunday. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely bouquet, with a lovely bird! I really hope children still read books. I have been a book lover since I was a child.
ReplyDelete... my grandchild reads a lot ... I'm happy about it.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful bouquet of flowers.
We had a great weekend, but today it's raining again, which is good for the fields :-)))
I wish you a happy week. Viola
Beautiful bouquets of flowers! Love the daffodils on the platter. My children read some of Jean Little's books - once my son came to me in tears saying, "why didn't you tell me it would be so sad?" I can't remember which one that was.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to a week of warming temperatures. Have a good week!
A lovely bouquet. I should do the same with my children’s book and donate them, but it is difficult for some of them especially Peter Rabbit ones
