Are You My Mother?
by P.D. Eastman
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A sweet adventure of resilience and determination to find that a loving parent makes the best home.

The Comfort Book
by Matt Haig
View in Library Catalog
book cover


After reading some of Matt Haig's other books, I wanted to read more of his books. I found this one thought-provoking and direct. He wrote about his struggles with depression, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, and feelings of not being enough. Haig also shared how he made it through his trials. He wrote about books, authors, composers, films, overcomers, and poets who inspired him. I liked the book very much, but the F word apears on the pages often.

A Psalm For The Wild-built
by Becky Chambers

book cover


Weird but interesting short read set in a future where robots have all retreated to a distant wilderness generations ago. A person befriends a robot on his pilgrimage away from civilization to find meaning in "his" life. Thought provoking. Swear words could have been omitted, and why couldn't the person be a he or she instead of a they?

Henry had been challenged growing up as a child to parents who were not supportive of his future-becoming an actor. Henry faced challenges in school, struggling academically with reading and math. He is a survivor and had a strong supportive community of colleagues, friends, family to help him become successful. Dyslexia was not diagnosed until his late teens. Great book.
