pickAlthough Sandberg's personal context is particular, there's a lot to take from this about what happens when Plan A fails. Sandberg's discussion of space, attitude, and patience real rang true for me. This was a timely reminder that our challenges, and traumas are PART of us but they are not us, and to be gentle with the people around us; we don't know what they're carrying around every day.

My favorite part of this book were the wonderful illustrations as well as the determination and motivation shown throughout this book.
pickBloom: A Story of Fashion Designer Elsa Schiaparelli by Kyo Maclear was adorable! It was about a girl named Elsa. By the 1930s Elsa Schiaparelli had captivated the fashion world in Paris, but before that, she was a little girl in Rome who didn‘t feel pretty at all. Bloom is the enchanting story for young readers of how a young girl used her imagination and emerged from plain to extraordinary. Amazing and inspiring to read. Really motivates you.
