Labor Day
The sun's rays are making their way south, and the temperatures have dropped from triple digits into a lovely sixty-seven degrees to mid-eighties. It's lovely. Yet, it's also kind of sad to see the days grow shorter and darker in the Northern Hemisphere. Labor Day is the weekend when Americans squeeze in the last bits of summer fun, and acquiese to the change of seasons.

The Giver is one of my favorite books!! It's brilliant.
I have always loved folk tales and fairy tales. They resonate for children and adults so I'm honored to hear my books read like fairy tales for adults! I think I more imagine the world than see i See Alice’s answer. |
