pickInteresting wordless picture book about a girl who finds a golden rock and we learn the history of where that golden rock originated and what it went through to get to her hands. Beautiful illustrations.

pickThis picture book is wordless and it is perfect the way it is. The stunning artwork shows how the world revolves and changes around a tree as well as the cycle from birth to death of a tree. Just beautiful. It reminded me a lot of Shaun Tan for some reason.

In “On the Clock,” Gundelsberger describes feeling this reality [like a robot] in her body, lamenting how humans increasingly have to compete with computers, algorithms, or robots that never get sick, depressed, or need a day off. When she finally collapses from pain and exhaustion at Amazon, a veteran employee gives her some Ibuprofen that is kept on the warehouse floor.
pickI read this back in college around 30 years ago and loved it; I‘ve had this copy since. I was a bit hesitant to reread it because what if I wasn‘t happy with it? Lucky for me, it remains lovely. Then, around age 20, it was clearly about time. Now, looking down the barrel of 50, it‘s clearly about mortality. Isn‘t that interesting?
pickTime is a social construct and for Tara, she remains repeatedly living in the 18th of November. A fascinating read of a well-written novel. I look forward to reading all seven sequels.
Best author bio ever! Loved this #picturebook that contextualizes time and the impact of humans on the planet.
