Lookit! 🥹 Yeah, I just found another picture book I could happily see the pages made into monthly entries for a year's wall calendar so I could always have the art on display. Picture books as the new coffee table books: big art but in lighter volumes.
The sweetest little snake. Yes, I went back and read it again. The ART!
pickSomething of a follow up to They All Saw a Cat by the same author, in that it again deals with shifting perspectives. There's a more muted palette and a more layered collage style in this one, it's giving me earth tones Eric Carle. Beautiful, almost meditative experience. Could definitely see it becoming a classic bedtime story.

Went through all of my library renewals on this one so I finally finished it up last night to return today. If you‘re a stone geek & like learning about the history of things, you‘ll probably enjoy this book with about 60 essays about different rocks from jasper to opal to lapis lazuli to moonstone. Although I skimmed some stones & sections more than others, most of the essays are pretty interesting & it‘s a beautiful book.💎🪨🩶
so-soAudiobook narrated by Nina Wadia. She's better at narrating fiction books!
This would probably have rated higher for me if I'd read it in print.

pickI took my time (9 weeks—the maximum library renewals) to make my way through this collection of stories about all kinds of different rocks. Geology, mythology, ancient texts, contemporary social history, philosophy and more are encompassed in this fascinating collection.
Dyers‘ lists of the late 16th century reveal such appealing shades as sheep‘s colour, motley, new sad colour, puke (a blue-black), devil in the hedge (off-red), pease porridge tawny, and goose-turd green.
pickThis is a lovely exploration of perspective, perception, and the passage of time. A rock can be so much more than a rock-it has a unique purpose for all living things 💗
