Stellar Surprises
One of the amazing things,
right up there on a favorite list
is when a young person shares a favorite book with me.
Not long ago a grade school girl brought a book
to share with me.
To read (out loud) to me.
Now, that in itself is delightful,
the surprise was the era
1968
this fictional child was writing a letter
to help keep her brother home
helping the family
instead of serving in the
Vietnam War.
Golly.
I now have my own copy
and I can tell you
without ruining the story
it's about that era
and family
and so much more.
Here is today's recommend:

"Until Tomorrow,
Mr. Marsworth"
by
A good book for 11 year olds
and others who enjoy stellar surprises
