The Casson children all get their names from their artist mother's color chart- Saffron, Indigo, Cadmium, and Rose. I love each of these books about this strange, fierce, and eternally memorable family. #NameInTheTitle #magnificentmarch

This is one of my favorite passages in the Casson family books. New driver Caddy is upset by a fox killed in the road, and her younger brother and sister helpfully communicate the situation to the driver behind them. Caddy is puzzled as to why other drivers wave when they pass...

That moment when one of your favorite college English professors takes a book recommendation from you (for a delightful children's book, no less) and now you're irrationally worried she won't like it....

I still want her to approve of my literary judgment... 18 years after graduation!

Lindy I stand together with you on this excellent suggestion, which I read as an adult. 👍 8y
BarbaraJean @Lindy I first read it as an adult, too! There's just such trepidation when someone whose taste you really respect picks up one of your own recommendations... 😏 8y

For #augustphotochallenge #day12, I debated so long over who to pick! From the Bennet sisters or the March girls, to Beezus & Ramona or Meg & Charles Wallace from A Wrinkle in Time... so many good ones. But I had to settle on the Casson children even though I've already raved about these kids all summer! Each hilariously unique and quirky, every one of them has a huge, loving, lovable heart. These are my #favsiblings.

Oh, I love this book... but this part has to be my favorite! Inexperienced driver secretly assisted by her little sister writing messages to the surrounding drivers. Love.
