pick⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Written in prose, home is not a country is a poignant & moving book about finding yourself & loving yourself. It's about making your life, despite the imperfections, 100% your own. And therein living it without dismay over what could have been & instead simply being proud of who you are & grateful for what is.
Can NOT recommend this book highly enough! (Even the acknowledgement section at the end made me cry. This book was just THAT good.)
This got me in the feels because my name is not Aisha and it doesn't mean "she who lives", but the rest sums me up to a tee since I lost my Jon 18 months and 2 weeks ago. ???
pickSuper cute and funny story. Love the illustrations!

Enjoy!
pickSuper sweet story of a woman and her dog Carson driving across Canada to visit her sister who‘s unwell in the Maritimes. Each two-page spread features beautiful illustrations and text with just a detail or two about the different points of interest like the Rocky Mts, Niagara Falls, Quebec City, and PEI. The surprise waiting for Carson in NL is particularly sweet.
Just a few of the Christmas #Cards I received this month❤️🎄❤️
