Dinner: a love story: it all begins at the family table / Jenny Rosenstrach.
"This is a new recipe book with scrumptious photos, entertaining stories and a few hints for feeding families. Written by Jenny Rosenstrach who has kept a diary of everything she has fed her family for dinner for over a decade."
--Fleur
Wonder / R.J. Palacio.
"This is a moving and deeply touching read, the main character and the family are very realistic and vivid. A simple story that feels genuine when you read it."
--Florence
The children's book / A.S. Byatt.
