She does a fine job of setting out her stall, that between the ages of 8 and 40 or so we're effectively hijacked by biology and culture and that midlife is an opportunity to become our true selves. However I found I don't subscribe to the myths about ageing that she assumes are universal, so it wasn't nearly the paradigm shift that was promised. And while she's good on excavating one's authentic dreams, the realising of them is more problematic.

quietlycuriouskate For instance, suggesting we outsource the "life stuff" that feels like a chore. And how am I to pay for that? With chickpeas? 2d
TheBookHippie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have fresh eggs that might get me somewhere… 2d
Caroline2 Chickpeas 😂 I‘ve heard the exchange rate for chickpeas at the mo is favourable though. 👍 I know what you mean, I feel like I‘ve read a lot about rich women “changing their lives” lately. They completely underestimate how difficult it is for the rest of us!!! 24h

4.5 ⭐ I love this book when it first came out. I still love it now. It‘s weird Al so you know his cadence and his storytelling is on point the story itself while some may consider long. It flows so well that while it‘s as wordy as an Eminem song, it goes as fast as a word page. Weird Al is able to weave magic in these pages. And the ending makes my heart go pitter patter my eyes tear up and make me go.

LibrarianRyan Let‘s not forget about our illustrator Wes HARGIS. They have created the perfect illustrations to go with this book. A little in line a little watercolor, but a whole lot of fun. 3w

“I'm going to be a firefighter, too!“

I could see this book being read aloud, pointing out the firefighter's gear and actions. Discuss the importance of firefighters and their role in keeping communities safe. Encourage questions and engage in a conversation about fire safety. Let children draw or color pictures of firefighters, their equipment, or a fire truck. Role-play firefighting scenarios, using toy fire trucks and pretend gear.

Nonfiction- “I'm Going to Be a Fire Fighter“ by Edith Kunhardt follows a young girl's aspiration to become a firefighter like her father. The book introduces readers to the exciting world of firefighting, exploring the tools, equipment, and bravery required for the job. This is a perfect book for young children who are curious about fire trucks, sirens, and the courageous individuals who fight fires.
