| I loved this story about all the cultural traditions leading up to a Bangladeshi wedding and celebration. Vibrant, interesting, and informative, with great little side-bars and back matter for those who want to know more. | |

| Laverne arrives "like a sunbeam" but turns into a thunderstorm when it's time to leave. I love that her huge emotions are handled with compassion, and I love that it's Laverne's own make-believe handling of storms with her stuffies that helps her wit ...more | |

| The colourful variety of foods, diverse families, and fun rhyming text make this appetite-stimulating book a real treat to read. Back-matter includes info about the different foods. | |
“Maybe I really can see
The face of God.
Maybe it's there
When I sit with my
Patched-together family
For pancake breakfast.
Maybe it's in the power
Of the sea,
Or in the driftwood
That gets hurled about
By storms.
Maybe it's in the words
Of an ice-cream man
Or the joyful leaps
Of a dolphin.
It might even be in the pain
Of leaving my new best friend,
Or maybe
It's especially in that.
Maybe all these things
Show me the face of God,
Or maybe they just show me
A bit of light
Or love
Or happiness.
And maybe that's exactly
The same thing.”

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

“In writing. Don't use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was "terrible," describe it so that we'll be terrified. Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, "Please will you do my job for me."
