pickI remember reading this book as a child, and it was a real pleasure to listen to it in French on the website of the Culturethèque, to which I have access through my French Alliance account.
This is a beautiful story of friendship between a blue dog and a little girl. Beautifully written, it's a book full of emotions.
pick#AboutABook Day 27: #SetInHotel - this place is a refuge for artists who have lost their inner eye, one-legged pilgrims in search of lost treasures, a young boy who speaks in verse and fishes messages from the sea, a sickly young woman dressed all in white with a scaly secret, and a bizarre greyish man who vowed to spend his time writing extraordinary letters.

"The festival was over, the boys were all plannin' for a fall
The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall
The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down
Anyone with any sense had already left town
He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts" ?♥️?

1) I always decorate, even the years I lived in a tenement with neither room nor money for a tree. I made a flat tree out of cardboard scraps, cheap paint, & takeout containers.
2) Although I'm not Christian now, I still have a love for nativity scenes. We somehow have 7 of them!
3) Oldies are the best, traditional carols and classical. But I do have a soft spot for Willie's song “Pretty Paper“ about a street person.
