In a horribly, wonderfully, weak moment, I recently walked into a children’s book store empty-handed and walked out with a bag full of books. With a growing cadre of nieces and nephews, not to mention many good friends having children, I haven’t quite decided which child (or adult!) will be the recipient of which books. After reading and re-reading them, I hope I can let them go! The covers and content of these two books particularly stick with me: The Lion and the Mouse by Jerry Pinkney, and Blues Journey by Walter Dean Myers.
