Why did the rooster cross the road so fast?

He was booking it to the library!

I live about half an hour from the small rural library where I work as a youth librarian.  Audio books are my saving grace for the time I spend driving each day.  Also, I strive to notice something of beauty every day on my drive.  A view of my winter commute:  

A few audio books I’ve particularly enjoyed (the actors reading the story make all the difference):  End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe, Still Life with Bread Crumbs by Anna Quindlen, Revolution and A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly, Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonson, Mennonite in a Little Black Dress and Does This Church Make Me Look Fat? by Rhoda Janzen, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak.

Jennifer Donnelly's Revolution is in my to-listen pile right now.

    I am a children’s writer and youth librarian who’s passionate about literature, libraries, and art.

    The path before me unwinds in ways that surprise, delight, and befuddle.  I hope you’ll join me to see where it leads.
