5⭐️ this is not your typical Neil Gaiman and read. But that doesn‘t take away from this at all. This is super short, and the thought put behind writing this poem is just as beautiful as the poem was itself. If you have five minutes, pick up this book. I checked it out for free on hoopla.

Of course I love this author. This was a quick read, terrible stories of war and migration and parents doing the unimaginable to save their children. How come humans can‘t evolve? Why can‘t small men stop creating huge catastrophes?

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

When I was driving along Hwy 19 in Kona yesterday there was a family of dark brown goats (males, females, kids) just casually walking down the side of the highway. Apparently they are feral& pretty common but their casual stroll captured my attention & inspired today‘s haiku:

Goat Gang 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Brown goat parade struts
Like they own the whole highway—
Cruisin‘ Kona style.

I very much enjoyed this historical fiction that takes place during WWI in Oxford. Peggy and her twin Maude live on a houseboat and work in a bookbinders. It‘s from Peggy‘s point of view, and with her we learn about how books were made at the time (are they still? I imagine the process has changed a lot), volunteer in a makeshift hospital for war victims, and attempt to win a college scholarship in a time poor women didn‘t get to go often. ⬇️

Soubhiville While it does stand alone, it‘s also a sequel to The Dictionary of Lost Words and features some of the same characters so I‘d suggest reading that first. 1mo

“These Olive Trees is far more than a picturebook about a refugee experience. It provides a distinct look into the resilience and culture of the Palestinian people.“ See the full review of this picturebook here: https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xvii-1/8/
