As a white person living in a predominantly black neighborhood in a southern city, I have felt like a victim of a hate I don’t deserve personally. But there are moments when the veil is drawn back between me as a white person and the experiences of a black person, and and I able to understand the hurt that has created this hate. One of those moments was listening to a women tell of marching with her father and having white people spit and throw bottles of urine on them. Another moment was reading this book.

I loved every character in this book, including poor Hilly in the prison of her own tunnel vision.

In spite of some historical inaccuracies, this novel rings true and kept me engaged from beginning to end. (I admit, though, that I did get a little distracted at times trying to figure out which actresses would play which characters in the movie that inevitably will be made.) The characters are well-developed, and there is the right combination of suspense and humor.

This is another story that points out the inconsistencies in the relationships between whites and their black servants. On the one hand the blacks were considered inferior morally and dangerous to the health of the whites. Yet at the same time the black maids were entrusted with their most precious things: their children. These absentee mothers underestimated the influence their maids had on the children and the affection their children had for the maids. As long as the help didn’t use the same toilet, their white employers thought they had control of the situation. Kathryn Stockett does an excellent job with this contradiction.

I bought this for a Christmas gift for a friend and it does not play, Be careful and try it as soon as you receive it. It was in perfect order and sealed. I tried it on three different players and it would just click and not play.
The Eagles Farewell 1

An emergent reader series that is not boring! It’s funny, you can actually listen to it again and again and again, which if your child is learning how to read or a struggling reader you will:)

It is emergent/early reader, think level 1 with decodable words repeated and introduced perfectly. Enough to gain skill but not too much to bore. (Think Dick & Jane…….easy to decode but boring)

By the author of the “Don’t let the pigeon….” & “Knuffle Bunny” series and “Leonardo the terrible Monster” Mo Willems is a Caldecott winner, former Sesame Street writer and a genius!

Buy them all & look forward to nighttime or anytime storytime. (I keep some of them in the car)

Happy Easter Bunny Treat

I have two long haired cats, one of which does not groom herself. She gets nasty mats in her fur that I usually end up shaving off. She hates any kind of brush or grooming tool and hates it when I try to clean her. Fun, right? As a result, I’m only able to groom her for shorts amount of time and the FURminator allows me to do the most in the shortest amount of time and she actually tolerates it for a little bit before getting upset with me. It does make a bit of a mess with all of the fur, but it is manageable if you’re careful. Best grooming tool EVER.

The bicycle was purchased as a Christmas gift for my Godchild. I found the bicycle, itself, to be everything it was advertised. In fact, my Godchild’s father so taken, I think I will have to him his own. Great price. Fast delivery (even during the Christmas rush).
