pickIt's a story about families and all the messy and beautiful ways they are formed. This was a quick read, and while I am conflicted about India, the mc, I loved the kids and their voices. This was my March #Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
pick4.5 ⭐This book is beautiful. This is a book for a non-biological child. Reiterating that while they may not have been birthed but they were wanted, waited for, and anxious to be met in the world. The illustrations are lovely they go right with the story, and this is sure to be one kids will read and parents will read to their children for years if not generations to come.

pickI loved this book just like I loved Laurie Frankel‘s last novel. She paints such compelling and honest portraits of families.

2024 Favourite Superhero stories and Picture Books: Some graphic novels wandered into other categories this year, but I've still obviously got a big soft spot for DC comics, especially Nightwing and Batman. Other notable miniseries include a more paranormal look at Gotham, and a stylish noir in Human Target. I enjoy the art in a lot of picture books, but the three shown at bottom right were particularly lovely in both sentiment and aesthetic.
Thank you @monalyisha for running #AuldLangSpine again this year! It‘s such a fun event where you share your list of favorite reads from this year with your match and you read at least one book from each other‘s lists. I‘ve discovered some epic books from this event over the years!! Tagging one of my fave reads of this year—and because Litsy is such a special family!
pickA child that has superpowers and as soon as she starts to walk, she becomes a blur. How does the family deal with her. This is a second grade reader book. #ISpyBingoJuly @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

pickAs an adoptive parent, I felt incredibly seen by this book. As Frankel herself points out, it‘s vanishingly rare to see adoption portrayed in the media as a source of a (complicated, human) joy.
