The events of the week has me recommending some books too. I have a group of grade sevens (about 12) reading Resistance in the library and we discuss some of it each week. We will have to close by sharing that the sort of hatred that characters were fighting is still being fought today.

It's just that I'm not ready to read anything like that. My mother fell and ended up with a traumatic brain injury about 4 years before she died of cancer. It's a loss of memory in a completely different way, but it ended up being a loss of her twice. Maybe someday I'll be ready.

Saying goodbye is hard enough, but dementia makes it what I often called "the long goodbye". I hope your mother finds the books some comfort and you, too.

I've had Remember Balloons on my list, but Dad's Camera is completely new. I would love to send some titles on Alzheimer’s to my mom to read and then to donate to the schools he used to substitute in. He taught there until he was in my early 90s -- so everyone in that community adored him.

A Big Mooncake has some of my favorite art this year--would love to see it as a Caldecott Honor, though I also love how Caldecott so often surprises me!
