So here's how I've been these last couple weeks. 

Went to urgent care for a migraine cocktail. It only helped for about a day. Well, after watching me get sick shortly after I ate, my husband figured out I was having food-related migraine attacks. Now I'm on a restricted diet. Even more restricted than before. No wheat, dairy, chocolate, nuts, tomatoes or onions. Since then I was able to work my entire shift both Saturday and Sunday!

I got sick Sunday night randomly. And I mostly rested yesterday. So today I'm not too bad off. I never realized certain foods (other than caffeine) could make my head worse. What a time. 

Honesty I am giving this four star because the second story was so wonderful. It is a retelling of the Snow Witch from Japan. The first story was good, but the artwork was better than the story. The third story was a let down. The fourth, which features Baba Yaga, was well done.   The illustration for that one, in particular the depiction of Baba Yaga herself, was so well down and creepy.

What a great way to finish the series! I hate that it's over. The art was fantastic, and the plot was so perfect. I am so happy this script was finally put out into the world in some form.

This children's book is very well done. It details what is known about Stephen Bishop, a slave who conducted tours of Mammoth Caves. Told by him, the author and illustrator cover not only slavery and race laws pre-Civil War, but also do so in a beautiful and lyrical manner. There is a note at the end that details the known facts about Bishop

Henson inspired Stowe's famous novel, and quite frankly, he should be more widely read. His narrative starts with violence towards his father, chronicles his work and eventually buying then losing his freedom, then taking his freedom. He is far more compelling in some ways than Douglas, perhaps because he is a family man.

Part of the Civl Summer Reading List.
