![]() Ah, would that readers could pluck Sayre’s art right off the page and savor its juiciness.even picky eaters are sure to be tempted.” Taken primarily at farmer’s markets, mom-and-pop stores and fruit stands and often including hand-lettered signs proclaiming their farm of origin, her photographs send a subtle message to support local farmers and businesses. In piles, baskets and boxes brimming with fruit, Sayre shows off the colors and textures, yet she does not shy away from depicting even those specimens that are not completely perfect. ![]() Going well beyond (but including) the standard apple, orange, banana, grapes and berries, she entices readers with such exotics as tamarillo, kiwano, guava, rambutan, currant, durian and the wonderfully named dragon fruit. Find fruity shapes!” With these staccato rhythms and cheerleading words, Sayre sets the stage for one long chant that will have kids clamoring for a fruit snack. ![]() “Rah, rah, raspberries! / Go, go, grapes! / Savor the flavors. “Sayre follows up her salute to vegetables (Rah, Rah, Radishes!, 2011) with this rousing chant in favor of fruit. ![]()

11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Read this book to hang out with Rory and her friends. ![]() Unfortunately there are hints of magical realism that fall flat-especially at the end-and that lowered the number of stars I give it to four. Mass’s book reminds me a bit of Judy Blume’s offerings for this age group. Rory’s parents offer a fine balance between strict and understanding, and her three-year-old brother, Sawyer, offers some excellent comic moments through the course of the book. ![]() Along the way, Rory helps others achieve their dreams too, and she does it with such subtlety that there’s a great lesson for readers within the pages of the book without feeling hit over the head with it. Rory plunges into achieving those dreams with reckless abandon that leaves her a bit batter, bruised, and hopped up on caffeine-all while being paid to be an extra in the teen movie being filmed at her school. Rory is a wonderful character and her big dreams may seem small to some, but when you’ve been waiting FOREVER for a cell phone, a pet, and to be left alone in the house (just to name a few of her wishes), they seem like the key to happiness. ![]() Rory Swenson has been keeping a list of things she'll be allowed to do once she turns twelve, and although she's sure her parents have forgotten a lot of the things they've promised over the years, she has the documentation to prove that they agreed to a variety of things. ![]()

Narcopolis book summary7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() This is life sliced from the seamy genitals of Bombay, at a time when the city rocked and revelled in its squalor. In fact, opium is the central character and addiction is the theme that binds everything together. ![]() There’s also opium in its many avatars along with a random sampling of other narcotic and psychotropic substances. ![]() There are walk-on-roles for many others Salim the pocketmaar, a retired clerk ‘Bengali’ who manages Rashid’s cashbox, the famous painter Xavier, Rashid’s son Jamal. She takes over the narrative with the help of sundry characters such as Rashid himself, her mentor Mr Lee, a psychotic smoker called Rumi. The hijda, Dimple aka Zeenat, prepares the pyali (the bowl that contains opium) and holds the pipe. The narrative starts in the 1980s when Dom Ullis, a Syrian Christian, smokes his first chandu (opium pipe) at Rashid’s khana. The place is Suklaji Street at the heart of Bombay’s red-light district. Imagine a gift with words and the desire to recuse himself from his own narrative. But his is a fractured consciousness that strobes in and out of alternate realities. Imagine that he is very observant and sensitive to atmosphere. Imagine an opium addict nodding through decades, indulging his habit in a somewhat surreal place in the company of somewhat surreal people. ![]()

Freedom: nature, wilderness, and open spaceĥ. Abundance: lushness, multiplicity, and varietyģ. This year I’m interested in self-transcendence and mystery, so the chapters on transcendence and magic are what drew me in, but the overall concept – of joy as a tangible, renewable external resource – is exhilarating.įetell Lee identified 10 aesthetics of joy, sensory properties that elicit feelings of delight and flourishing:Ģ. What are the sensory elements of harmony? Is freedom tangible? What are the visual features of play and surprise and celebration? And how do all these components assemble to create a joyful experience? I picked up Ingrid Fetell Lee’s “Joyful: The Surprising Power Of Ordinary Things To Create Extraordinary Happiness” not for the joy, perse, but because she examines the aesthetics of joy. ![]() Positively brimming with the stuff (perhaps a bit of an oddity for someone who has a death blog?). ![]() |
