![]() There are enough parallels to the Harry Potter books to either delight or annoy fans, depending on how they feel about such things. It reads quickly as long as you don’t let yourself get too hung up on the details. ![]() ![]() This is an ambitious book, weaving hundreds of years of mystical Jewish teachings into an exciting modern-day story. (He remains comatose for the entire book.) There are scenes that are frightening and/or violent, like in the first chapter, where a renowned professor passes out era pool of blood. But I’d also caution that it’s not for the youngest readers, or maybe for any reader younger than 12 or 13.

My 5 year old, Vivi, informed me that Bunny Cakes is now “too babyish” for her (she loved it when she was 2-3 and we read it almost daily, but now that she’s nearly 6, it’s just not her speed anymore). I figured, when I had kids, that they might also like Max and Ruby. I also ended up sewing my little charge Max and Ruby dolls. I read a LOT of Max and Ruby, is what I’m saying. And, failing that, we’d just renew the ones we were bringing back. Whenever we’d go to the library for our weekly book haul, we’d comb the shelves for any new Rosemary Wells books. I used to tutor a little boy who loved, loved, loved Max and Ruby. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this powerful life-changing book, HOMECOMING: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child, John Bradshaw shows us how we can learn to nurture that sometimes needy inner child, in essence offering ourselves the good parenting we needed and longed for. ![]() If our vulnerable child was hurt, abandoned, shamed, or neglected, that child’s pain, grief, and anger live on within us. We first see the world though the eyes of a little child, and that ‘inner child’ remains with us throughout our lives, no matter how outwardly ‘grown-up’ and powerful we become. ‘The healed inner child becomes a source of vitality and creativity, enabling us to find new joy and energy in living’ John Bradshawĭo you aspire to be a loving parent but all too often ‘lose it’ in hurtful ways?

Bill Clinton’s presidency was one of, largely, economic growth, of the signing of the NAFTA treaty with Mexico and Canada, encouraging free trade in North America, and of relative peace, with only small US-led skirmishes in the Middle East and Africa. Schlosser wrote Fast Food Nation at the close of the 1990s, a time of great upheaval in America-although the results of that upheaval were not to impact large portions of the American public until the first decade of the 21st century. ![]() ![]() It is a short story-within-the-story about a man coming across an abandoned bike on the side of the road who steals it and the four apples which apparently spilled from the bike's basket. The PrologueĪ short prologue prefaces the commencement of the narrative and is notable for being essentially unrelated to that narrative. ![]() Tennis is a robust symbol, of course, but is primarily represented here by virtue of it not being a team sport and thus the competitive effort is narcissistic, self-centered, and ultimately destructive to the losing player. The entire dynamic of the family at the center of the story is based upon a talent and obsession with tennis. Within the narrative itself, tennis is actually a more significant symbol than falling apples. And, indeed, the story is an exploration of this idea as a major theme. The title of the book is a reference to the adage "the apple never falls far from the tree." The meaning of this proverbial wisdom is related to the genetics of inherited character traits, suggesting that offspring can usually be counted upon to act not terribly different from their parents. ![]() ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
