What a great list! I'm honored to be on your favorites list--thanks. There are a few on here I haven't read, so I'm off to put them on reserve.
Thank you for your comment. I'm so happy that you saw this! Yes, we absolutely love your book. I'm not sure if you saw my review of it or not, so in case you didn't I'll link it here. It was our featured book for Day 172 :) I hope you enjoy some of the others on the list as much as we enjoyed A Leaf Can Be!
