Now out: Feminist Prayers for my Daughter
In these pages are musings and prayers that uniquely reflect the lives of girls and women, mothers and daughters. Some of the topic headings include Relationships, Spirituality, Wholeness, Justice and Milestones, among others. Each of these topics receives about ten prayers; for example for supportive female friendships or for body acceptance, or for vocational choice. A couple of sample quotes: “When she is tempted to limit what she eats, remind her that her body is worthy of nourishment” or “May my daughter have a vision of the woman she is to become, and may no one convince her it is not enough.”
Dip in and out of this title. Readers will find something to think about in these pages.
Many thanks to Baker Academic and Brazos Press for this title. All opinions are my own.

Experience: Joy by Mike Bond
The very first poem in this collection captured my heart. “Burgundy” felt wise and profound. This was true for many of the works in this collection. Who wouldn’t love the words “To see your face across a room delights my heart…To hold your hand heats my soul with love.” Some are sadder, as for example, the poem titled Gray Clouds.
What all of the poems in this collection share is their approachability (maybe not a real word but the concept I want). These are works that one may contemplate but that can be understood. I will be dipping in and out of this book for a while.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Big City Press for this title. All opinions are my own.
This title was published in November 2022.
What would happen: If Wishes Were Fishes
A Celebration of Animal Group Names
by Anne L. Watson
#IfWishesWereFishes #NetGalley
This short, brightly illustrated title informs kids of the names for groupings of animals, for example, a pride of lions. There is whimsy here with some rhyming and appealing illustrations. A cute story for sharing with a young child.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Skyhood Press for this title. All opinions are my own.
