AuthorHolly Hobbie
ISBN1844280012

The Dork of Cork
AuthorChet Raymo
ISBN0446670006
The Dork of Cork is my favorite book- which is no lighthearted claim. I normally shy away from books where mothers are central characters, because often times they aren't written like real people. Mothers are either written as supremely screwed up, Donna Reed types, or afterthoughts in the background...

Kid
AuthorSimon Armitage
ISBN0571166075
'Without Photographs'

We literally stumble over the bits

all that tackle under the old mill.
I don't know how we finally figure it out,
poking around in the half-dark,
coming across the neatly coiled...

Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth

SO Sweet! A father’s story explaining his world when his child is 2 months old.

I love this book. It does the macrocosm all the way to the day to day, not quite microcosm. It is powerful to show how small this little planet is in all that space and then when you see all the diversity and wonders on...
