It was almost a relief to end this book, just because hooks packs such an emotional punch into her work. Incisive and critically minded, hooks takes her scalpel to our culturally defined notion of familial and romantic love, cutting and reassembling it into a more expanded and just version of love. I picked up a used copy and was thrilled to find, months later, hooks‘s writing on the first page. Now all I have to do is change my name to Tracey.

“I wish that I could give you something...but I have nothing left.“

This is a children's poetry book about a tree that is selfless and gives everything it has to a boy. This book represents how much humans depend on nature to live. This story can also be looked at as a boy taking advantage of someone until they have nothing left to give. This book has many different representations, and this would be a good introduction to poetry, and a good book for an open discussion.

I thought this was a touching story about a tree who cared all about this boys happiness and put the boy above themselves. This book represents self less ness.

“No, David!“

This is a story about a boy who is consistently getting in trouble in at home and is not very good at listening and following directions. This book is a good story to read to a classroom. The illustrations are humorous and tell a story within in them. This book can be a good book to incorporate a lesson, or have a conversation with students about following directions and listening.

No, David! was published in 1998. This is a book about a little boy named David, who is always getting into trouble and not doing what he is supposed to be doing. This is a good book for teachers to have conversations with students about appropriate behaviors in the classroom.

My babygirl is officially 2 months old! I'm already sobbing she's getting so big so fast I hate/love it.
