Some of my very favorite moments of making my book podcast happen when I pick up a book for the show that I think I *probably* read as a kid but that I don‘t have especially strong feelings about, only to find that the story is basically embedded in my brain from two decades ago. Isn‘t it wild how that happens? I experienced that when I picked up Chasing Redbird for this week‘s episode and it was a total joy. Click the link in my bio to listen!

I love how this story starts with a bowl of spaghetti as a metaphor for life. 🍝 Sometimes it's a tangled mess, but then sometimes you experience something wonderful.
I've read a couple of Sharon Creech's picture books to my 6th graders as introduction and today they got their novels to start reading. One group is reading Chasing Redbird and the other is reading Ruby Holler, so I'm rereading as well.

pickRead a book you've read before. I read Chasing Redbird in third grade and still remember lines and scenes from it. Listened to it in one go while working in the garden. I guess it made an impression on nine year old me. It's about a 13 year old girl who spends the summer uncovering/working on a 20 mile trail. She camps and works all day all by herself and only goes home every ten days so her parents know she's not dead. #readharderchallenge
I don't really like re-reading books, but these are the only ones I will make an exception for. All of them I read as a kid several times and I revisit them every few years.

- Digging to the Center of the Earth
