First (and possibly only) iris of the season. I First (and possibly only) iris of the season. I am very good at killing plants, not keeping them alive, so this one is impressive!
I had such a great time at the Japan Matsuri Festi I had such a great time at the Japan Matsuri Festival today! I very nervously came in my yukata (slightly mangled obi and all [had to keep the bow in the front while driving my car], but this is something Japanese people love seeing foreigners do when they’re in Japan and attending festivals). I was glad I did as it was fun to dress up. This year was a little different as the festival was only in the concourse and not down near the library. (For some reason, the Moon Festival was taking place at the same time down there.) This meant that the main stage with all the performances took place in the middle of the concourse. That probably drew more crowds. We watched a band, a shodo (calligraphy) demonstration, and some awesome drumming. We also checked out the booths and it was nice to see the fishing back. I also watched an ikebana (flower/plant arranging) demonstration as well as some brush painting. Then we finished things off with freshly made black sesame mochi and the most amazing mango/sago/coconut milk drink.
Book post is the best post—particularly when it’s Nathan Burrage’s (http://nathanburrage.com) latest speculative fiction short story collection “Almost Human” and you get a shout-out on the acknowledgements page 😊 (Nathan has been the backbone of my writing group for years, and it was a privilege not only to see some of these pieces in their developing form, but also to help them become what they are now.)
“Smaller Sister” by Maggie Edkins Willis is an “Smaller Sister” by Maggie Edkins Willis is an intimate and moving portrayal of growing up, dealing with adolescence and change, body image, sisterhood, and what it’s like to live with someone with an eating disorder. Lucy and her older sister Livy have always been close. But when Livy starts to change and leave Lucy behind/shut Lucy out, Lucy has to figure out life—family, friends, love & self-image—for herself. The comic draws on autobiography, but isn’t autobiographical, and it seems to be set in the past as the characters aren’t tethered to mobile phones and don’t have to contend with Instagram. It makes me wonder how things have changed for kids today. That said, I love the way Willis portrays the ups and downs of Lucy and Livy’s relationship, and the various issues they’re grapple with as their lives change. I also love the complexities of friendship that Lucy finds herself grappling with when she’s forced to change schools. Most of all, though, I love the positive message about body image and self the story conveys, which is timeless. While my own relationship with my body has never been as turbulent as Lucy and Livy’s, I know something of what that feels like, and I really appreciated how Willis deals with these issues. Highly recommended for the tween or teen girls in your life. #readcomics #middlegradecomics #middlegradefiction #bodyimage #bodyimageissues #anorexia #eatingdisorders
