with a very perceptive and thoughtful almost 11 yr old that is often a challenge.

i love this book. virginia woolf is one of my favourite writers and her tragic end familiar. when i saw this over the summer i picked it up immediately. (the illustrations are so lovely.) i could not have guessed that it would be so relevant and helpful a few months later.
hold your loved ones close. talk. "love, love, love."

hmmm. The Toot and Puddle "You Are my Sunshine" picture book by Holly Hobbie would be suited for a child younger than 8. I'll be interested to see what other readers suggest for older children.
hugs, tracy. xo.
