What I Learned - The God of All Small Boys by Joseph Lamb
I had heard a lot of great chatter about this book and was lucky enough to meet the lovely author when he interviewed Ross Sayers earlier this year. Shortly after this book arrived in the post and it absolutely did not disappoint. I read it in a day... What I Learned: Bullies are always looking for a reaction - tough to remember in the moment but, let's face it, mum's always know best. I love this simple and beautiful sentiment. Perhaps the most important thing we can ask of our kids. So lovely. Given my predilection for crazy and insane adventures (often climbing in windows of abandoned buildings when no one knows where I am) I am secretly hoping there is also a God of All 30-Something Impulsive Women too! Is that wrong? It's probably time to grow up really. I love this passage so much- for me it sums up life's simple pleasures that all to often go unnoticed by anyone but the untainted youth. How much more...
