A Home for Mr. Emerson | 
so-so3 ⭐ This is a brief introduction to Ralph Waldo Emerson for children. It is very well done, even though when I look at it, I think of Mr. Lincoln. There is nothing wrong with this book per se I just found it a tad bit boring.

pick#MarchIntoThe70s Day 28: A picturebook biography on Ralph Waldo Emerson. Apart from his erudite leanings, I liked how he made himself of service to his community. No task was perceived as too menial for him, as he rounded up wayward hogs as the appointed hog reeve. #CarryOnMyWaywardSon indeed. When his ideas reached thinkers from the other side of the world, his home was filled with like-minded thinkers. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-8CL
so-soThis book is lovely and enjoyable, but it has an odd thing for a biography - the reader is left wondering why, exactly, Emerson was important. It says a lot about his friends, and his garden, and his home, but not much about HIM. So it misses the mark as a biography. Lovely quotes and fun art made it fun for me, but I am not the target audience.
