Anne Tyler’s books are so emotionally true that it takes my breath away. Can’t wait to delve into this one. Here’s what I just finished. Excellent read for a space nerd like me.
Do you need to see exact pics, etc or art notes for some?

I LOVED the All-of-A-Kind Family series and later read all of them to my kids. I’ve discovered that many of my fellow Jewish children’s authors were similarly impacted by them. And I was ecstatic when my 1st picture book was recognized by the Sydney Taylor Book Award!
