Book Recommendations

Andrew - 14 months

One of our favorite additions to Christmas is our basket of Christmas books. We go to the library a lot less & just enjoy all the stories about Jesus' birth. I'd love to have a similar basket for Lent & Easter. Do you have some that you really love? Some you *thought* you'd like but don't so much? I imagine that I'll be doing most of this book browsing on-line, so any suggestions from actual readers like you would be very welcome! What's your favorite?

I could go on for pages but will limit to these two.
Try to find a copy of Petook by Caryl Houselander / Tomie dePaola. It is the best!
I was not smitten with Benjamin's Box. I may do one final post about this at Our Little Library before my Lenten fast begins.

a smile

A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad; and it is nature's best antidote for trouble. Yet, it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.
