We wander through the world we know for certain sometimes unaware of what we don’t understand culturally, linguistically speaking, and then suddenly, there is an explanation for that which we don’t understand. From the New York Times bestselling author of Lost in. It is no wonder, then, that words carry with them a visceral quality that roots itself and then flourishes around us in a powerful curiosity.

Seeds that you didn’t even intend to plant can fall off you and start growing in people,” said Brandon Stanton from his photography project and book Humans of New York.

And with unique empathy and intelligence, she ponders how American communities and she herself might begin to question their orthodoxies and experience a new kind of vulnerability and faith.

She traces her own brief but intense foray into evangelical Christianity, the history of mental health treatment from exorcisms to pills to electrode therapy, the rise of the robocall, and more. Blending reportage with personal memoir, Kisner examines various uncanny scenes from modern America.

We are so caught up in the story that struggling over words isn't even an issue! He just plows ahead too excited to see what they are going to say next. I love the art style and have from the moment I picked up the book. I miss the cutouts but the fancier flaps were quite cute and fit the story spot on. This time there were less flaps because I suspect they were fancier ones. ![]() The cover intriuged him from the moment he saw it so beware a young one getting even a glimpse of this book. He gets quite engaged in the story and tells me the happenings of the cats long after we are done with the book. He loved how interactive the book is with the flaps and how the cats seem to talk to HIM. We accidentally read 3 instead of book 2 so its a little odd to us the dog is missing, so try to read them in order, though its really not necessary. but someone needs to please help them out of this book! They try pushing their way out and jumping their way out, but nothing seems to work. but not for long! They want to go off to see the world. ![]() Check out more Picture book reviews Perspective of a Writer. ![]() |
