In my quest to find graphic novels to give my kiddos for Christmas this year, I ended up reading Saving Sunshine all in one day. (To be fair, it’s barely over 220 pages.) And while the sibling bickering storyline is a risk for me–there’d better not be emulation of that in my house–the way it’s handled is promising. For one thing, the parents’ reaction to it feels incredibly real. (And I feel their pain.) For another, we see how the rift between the siblings started–and how it starts to mend as well. Add saving a Loggerhead turtle to that plot and you have a story that will HOPEFULLY encourage my children to be kinder to each other and respect each other’s interests–as well as one they should thoroughly enjoy reading. Cross your fingers, folks!
In the meantime, despite some impressive fog last night, we did get a fair number of neighbor gifts delivered. With luck, more people will be home tonight. With even MORE luck, visibility will be better. I guess we’ll see. (Or not see, as the case may be. But I’m hoping for more of the seeing.) Good luck with your Christmas endeavors today!
