Could not agree more with your review of Hank Hooperman! The way the author writes about Hank, Boo, and their relationship as they navigate through such a difficult set of circumstances is done with such care, that it leaves you thinking about these characters well after you finish the final page. Wonderful recommendations as always!

Both of these are so good. Amazing recommendations, as always. I learned so much about Emily Dickinson!

You sold me on both, reserved my copies :-) I've been hearing about Wildflower Emily, I appreciate the look at the back matter, can't wait to get my hands on it!

The art is so lovely! You will get through it in one sitting. I got our copy from the library when we were doing gift guides, but I'm definitely going to purchase this one! AND I wish I could put a copy of Hank into everyone's hands:)!
