Book Musings: A Wrinkle in Time
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
I can’t remember that I’ve ever read this. When Thomas read it for the first time many years ago; he suggested I read it and that I would like it. He was right! I was hooked and had a hard time putting it down. We’ve seen the older movie; but haven’t yet seen the new movie. Wonderful book!
Book Musings: When the Shadbush Blooms

When the Shadbush Blooms
A great book about a Lenape Indian girl, about cycles and about tradition and change. We enjoyed it!
Book Musings: The Librarian Who Measured the Earth
The Librarian Who Measured the Earth
Wonderfully illustrated story of Eratosthenes who was born more than two thousand years ago. He was full of wonder and questions. Wherever he went and whatever he did, his curiosity and questions sent him from one discovery to the next.
His measurement of the circumference of the Earth was only two hundred miles different from our own calculations today. Great story about a man who always let his curiosity lead the way.
Book Musings: Fire in the Heart – A Spiritual Guide for Teens
Fire in the Heart – A Spiritual Guide for Teens –
I listened to the audio version of this book with Thomas and Lillian about seven years ago. I’m not one to let books written for specific age groups deter me! HA!
I remembered loving this book back then. Recently, I had been having the urge to experience it again. I’m hoping Thomas and Lillian decide to read it also.
A non-fiction story of an elder man, Baba, whom Chopra encountered when he was 15 years old. Chopra shares, in his beautiful writing style, the lessons he learned from Baba.
Book Musings: Incredible You
Incredible You!
A wonderful book to inspire young and old alike to feel in their hearts that nothing is impossible for them. Love, Love, Love!
Book Musings: For the Right to Learn – Malala Yousafzai’s Story
For the Right to Learn – Malala Yousafzai’s Story
We are so inspired by Malala Yousafzai!! At 17 years old she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. She almost lost her life for being outspoken about equal education in her home country of Pakistan.
“This award is not just for me. It is for those forgotten children who want education. It is for those frightened children who want peace. It is for those voiceless children who want change.”
Book Musings: It’s a Snap! George Eastman’s First Photograph

It’s a Snap! George Eastman’s First Photograph
In the year 1877 George Eastman took up the new hobby of photography. This wasn’t an easy hobby. It cost a lot for the equipment and it was bulky. But …. he changed all that!!
Loved the fun and interesting style this was written!
Book Musings: Wanda Gag – The Girl Who Lived to Draw
December 22 2018:
Wanda Gag – The Girl Who Lived to Draw
Wonderful story of the author of “Millions of Cats”. Wanda Gag’s childhood was filled with German fairy tales, musical evenings, and hours spent in her father’s painting studio. As soon as she learned to draw, she couldn’t stop and dreamed of becoming an artist.
This book is an inspiration … an inspiration for anyone with a dream! We ALL LOVED it!!
