Read: Falling Up (#21-2022)

Falling Up

Falling Up (Special Edition) by Shel Silverstein

One of my favourite poets, Shel Silverstein has made me smile since the first time I read one of his books in childhood. He's quirky and funny.  Sometimes it's low-brow humour about picking your nose, and other times it's something that makes you really think about the state of the world. 

I'm always amazed at the levels that exist in his words.

First in a series of books that focus on the naughty side of the heroines in conjunction with the villains of their story.

Another fun jump through the nostalgia of childhood.  This collection contains new stories, written and illustrated in the style that I remember as a kid.  It's cute, it's quirky and it was just a super fun selection to read.
