Oh gosh what a story, this is one of those books you fall in love with....and by this I mean you fall in love with its words....
...this is a story about a boy called Jimmy and his family. It is a book written with a deliberate slow pace, it builds and ebbs and at no point did I grow bored of its rhythm.
Jimmy is an absolute joy to get to know, (and I liked that Laguna chose not to offer us a label for his particular behaviour/learning issues) Jimmy knows everything he needs to know and yet he realistically knows very little. However, Jimmy's very deep awareness and connectedness with his world is insightful and written beautifully by Laguna.
A very sad, and beautiful story that will stay with you long after you close its pages...
The library Enthusiasts Pandemic Thoughts...
...Australia's libraries have risen to the challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic, finding new ways to keep us reading and providing us access to valued services. From live-streaming story and rhyme times, to posting items to library members...love how libraries are adapting to meet our needs.
