Peony in Love: A Novel
Lisa See
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008
Loved this book.
I loved this book. I found it fascinating...tragic...hauntingly beautiful. I recommended it to a friend and she also loved it. It's a story that stayed with me for many weeks after I finished it. It was not at all what I expected as a "love story" in the traditional ...

Goodnight Moon
Margaret Wise Brown
HarperFestival, 1991
Generations
I bought this book for my daughter - in paperback, hardback, coloring book, etc.! This was her all-time favorite book growing up and now I'm buying it for her newborn son! That makes me really think this is a book "for generations".

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan: A Novel
Lisa See
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2006
One of the best
Rich in detail and exquisitely crafted, this is an excellent book which I highly recommend, though some parts are rather graphic (footbinding) and are not for the weak of heart.

The Foot Book: Dr. Seuss's Wacky Book of Opposites (Bright & Early Board Books(TM))
Dr. Seuss
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1996
Daughter absolutely loves it!
Not sure why she is so interested in it, but she wants it read over and over again. She just loves it and I REALLY like that it holds up so well. She is 15 months old and recently is in a phase of tearing paper. So...this has held up well.

an old favorite
I "met" this book many years ago when I was a student teacher. It has supplemented and enriched many lessons on measurement since that time. Recently, I purchased it in order to pass it on to 2 younger teachers, for their classrooms. Its charm and humor are still ...

Under the Feet of Jesus
Helena Maria Viramontes
Plume, 1996
A haunting book
I can't recommend this book enough. The thing is that the reader doesn't get the picture until the story is finished. Then it all seems to come together in a powerful way. Viramontes does exactly what I have always been taught is the best way to write. She shows ...

Don't Shoot Yourself in the Foot
Daniel G Amen

This book opened my eyes
I was at a point where it was like I was swiming upstream at work. Too many things were just so much more difficult than they needed to be.
