At Home in the Street: Street Children of Northeast Brazil by Tobias Hecht

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I anticipated a longer book. The subject of street children in Brazil entails so much suffering and paranoia for those who live this reality, it seems even more unjust to have a slim volume. I appreciate that Hecht provided the reader with follow-ups of the children. The only solution to the issue is human empathy. It would enable the government to provide more services for the poor and people would gain more energy to sustain their families and themselves. This is not of criticism of Brazil but this faces the world at large.

Never Sit If You Can Dance: Lessons from My Mother by Jo Giese

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I read this in the bathtub all night. I feel blessed to be aware of Babe. What a remarkable woman! I wish she could've lived longer to see her Mother's Day bonanza. Nonetheless, her life overflowed with joy and love. Babe was a woman to emulate.

Cheers to feminine greatness!
