Just so beautiful. Keegan writes so deceptively simply, yet each sentence has purpose, captures each act of kindness with a subtle emotional punch. The rural Irish setting gives this tale a timeless feel, and the young POV an innocence that is touching. Heartbreakingly human. @squirrelbrain @barbarabb @cortg @AshleyHoss820 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @RaeLovesToRead @MissHel

BarbaraBB I loved this one too 🤍 2y
squirrelbrain Great review - I‘m planning on reading this one soon. 2y
Cortg Sounds good! I looked and my library only has ebook/eaudiobook availability, which might be why I haven‘t heard of it before ☺️ 2y

KarenUK @Cortg it‘s lovely in print, but a super short audio too…. Really worth the hour of your time…. I believe it was originally published as a story in the New Yorker before it was published in print. 2y
KarenUK Aw thanks Helen…. I think you‘ll love it… @squirrelbrain And it was @BarbaraBB 5star review that prompted me to pick it up sooner rather than later! 💕 2y
squirrelbrain Yes, it was @BarbaraBB who put it on my radar too! I have it on Scribd audio 2y
BarbaraBB Thanks @KarenUK and @squirrelbrain for trusting my opinion. I hope you‘ll love it as much as Karen and I did, Helen! 2y
Cortg Thanks! I‘ll have to download it! 2y
Cortg I woke up to an NPR article this morning. Apparently Foster is a movie now. I‘m definitely living under a rock 🪨😆 2y
KarenUK @Cortg me too! No idea either!! 2y

Paint Me a Picture, Mr. Pine, | Leonard P Kessler

Pickpick

Mr Pine is a sign painter and today he needs a day off to paint pictures instead. It's a children's book from the early 1970s and the artwork was my favorite thing about it. I don't know that a young child would appreciate needing a day off from work to do something different, but I can relate.
