An Excellent Answer to An Oft Asked Question
My children ask this regularly, especially my six-year-old Emma. "Who do you love the best?" She wants so badly to be loved "the best". Through Joosse's book, I learned an incredible new way to express how I love her "the purplest" or the "chocolatiest" or "the bell ringingest"..... By using a more descriptive word than "Best", the Mother in this book speaks to what is real and true about her ...

Heartwarming
My mom, an artist, received this book as a gift. I was intrigued by the paintings, started reading it and found I could not put it down. The life lessons spoken/lived by Alfreda and her friends touched my heart. If only we could all live accordingly. A deeply moving book. A wonderfully inspiring gift of encouragement.

A great book to read to kids.
This is a great book to read to kids. It has a great story, wonderful pictures with clarity for a 1 yr old, yet enough detail that my 3 yr old still loves it every time. If you like dogs, you'll love this, and if you are going through a move, this book is a must for young kids.

Lotus Blossoms and Sunflowers
"I like to arrive early in the morning at the pond so that I can watch the lotus flowers open before noon." ~ Mary Whyte Mary Whyte's art has been exhibited by art galleries and has been collected by museums. She is also the author of Watercolor for the Serious Beginner and has illustrated children's books. I think the reason people love her art is because of the spiritual elements she is able ...

Every child knows that snow is magical. Remember waking up after snow had fallen during the night and just being able to FEEL that it had snowed without even looking? Remember it's crispy crunch under your boots? Remember how brilliant and flickering the stars were on a cold winter's night with the wind hushing in the pine trees? If you can remember these things this book will happily transport ...
